DESCRIPTION:
The NASA/NOAA Electronic Theater presents Earth
science observations and visualizations from space
in a historical perspective.
Fly in from outer space to Cambridge and Harvard
University. Zoom through the Cosmos to SLC and
site of the 2002 Winter Olympics using 1 m
IKONOS "Spy Satellite" data.
Contrast the 1972 Apollo 17 "Blue Marble" image
of the Earth with the latest US and International
global satellite images that allow us to view our
Planet from any vantage point.
See the latest spectacular images from NASA/NOAA
remote sensing missions like Terra, GOES, TRMM,
SeaWiFS, & Landsat 7, of storms & fires like Hurricane
Isabel and the LA/San Diego firestorms of 2003.
Take the pulse of the planet on a daily, annual
and 30-year time scale. See daily thunderstorms,
the annual blooming of the northern hemisphere
landmasses and oceans, fires in Africa,
dust storms in Iraq, and carbon monoxide exhaust
from global burning.
See visualizations featured on Newsweek, TIME, Nat'l
Geographic, Popular Science covers & National &
International Network TV. Spectacular new global
visualizations of the observed and simulated
atmosphere & oceans are shown.
See the currents and vortexes in the oceans that bring
up the nutrients to feed tiny plankton and draw the
fish, whales and fishermen. See the how the ocean
blooms in response to El Niño/La Niña climate changes.
See the global city lights, and the great NE US
blackout of August 2003 observed by the
"night-vision" DMSP satellite.
The Etheater will be presented using the latest
High Definition TV (HDTV) and video projection
technology on a large screen. See how HDTV is
revolutionizing the way we do science communication.
NB:
We apologize for this extremely last minute announcement- but the
opportunity to host this event and find a suitable venue arose at the
last moment.
