Title:
Apollo 17 30th Anniversary: Andes Flyover
Instrument:
Terra/MODIS
Description:
Beauty shot fly-over animation of the Andes Mountains using the Blue Marble data mosaic.
Duration: 20.0 seconds
Abstract:
In conjunction with the 30th Anniversary Apollo 17 mission, NASA put together a special release highlighting one of the most popular photos taken during that mission. The photo (#AS17-148-22727) was taken on Dec. 7, 1972 from the Apollo 17 command module. Over the years, many other satellites have taken imagery of Earth, including Terra/MODIS. This animation uses a global mosaic derived from Terra/MODIS and flys us over the Andes Mountains to celebrate how far Earth science imagery has come since the days of Apollo 17.
