Robotics Institute Helps Make Stunning Satellite Imagery Easily Accessible
|
|
Members of the public can now easily explore almost 30 years of Earth imagery from NASA’s Landsat through TIME Magazine’s new Timelapse project. The project is a collaborative effort between TIME, Google, NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with the assistance of Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. As of May 8, visitors to www.time.com/timelapse can access time-lapse imagery from Landsat spanning the years 1984 through 2012. Users can zoom in and out on any spot on the globe and move back and forth in time. The sprouting of Dubai’s artificial Palm Islands, the retreat of Alaska’s Columbia Glacier and the deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon are among the phenomena that dramatically unfold – at any scale – for visitors to the site.
