NASA Science
NASA leads the nation on a great journey of discovery, seeking new
knowledge and understanding of our planet Earth, our Sun and solar
system, and the universe out to its farthest reaches and back to its earliest
moments of existence. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and
the nation’s science community use space observatories to conduct
scientific studies of the Earth from space to visit and return samples
from other bodies in the solar system, and to peer out into our Galaxy
and beyond.

NASA Worldview
Worldview is a web-based application that allows you to explore Earth as
it is “right now.” Interactively browse 150+ global, full-resolution satellite
products and imagery. Using Worldview, you can visually discover natural
phenomena through an easy map interface, download near real-time and
historical imagery and its underlying data for further analysis, learn more
about the imagery with detailed layer descriptions, and explore remote
polar regions with Arctic and Antarctic views. Access to near real-time
satellite data within three hours of observation supports time-critical
application areas such as wildfire management, air quality measurements,
and flood monitoring.
