nasa world wind 3d satellite images



NASA World Wind - 3D satellite images from NASA

World Wind is an open source project, that lets you zoom from

satellite altitude into any place on Earth. It uses Landsat satellite

imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, as well as several

data sources that provide historical and information on storms, fires,

floods and other major events, as well as important landmarks with

links to additional information on the web. World Wind also includes a

full copy of the Blue Marble, a true-color image of the entire Earth

as seen on NASA's Earth Observatory. Other data sources include Land

Sat 7, SRTM, NASA SVS, MODIS, GLOBE as well as country and US state

borders and city names. NASA World Wind also provides imagery of the

moon. Even though the program appears similar to Google Earth, it

covers a much wider range of data sources, however it is not nearly as

user-friendly and requires an in-depth look at the documentation.
