3-D View of Mars
Title 3-D View of Mars
Full Description This first three-dimensional picture of Mars' north pole enables scientists to estimate the volume of its water ice cap with unprecedented precision, and to study its surface variations and the heights of clouds in the region for the first time. Approximately 2.6 million of these laser pulse measurements were assembled into a topographic grid of the North pole with a spatial resolution of 0.6 miles (one kilometer) and a vertical accuracy of 15-90 feet (5-30 meters). The principal investigator for MOLA is Dr. David E. Smith of Goddard. The MOLA instrument was designed and built by the Laser Remote Sensing Branch of the Laboratory for Terrestrial Physics at Goddard. The Mars Global Surveyor Mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, for the NASA Office of Space Science, Washington, DC.

Title Hubble Control Center, Goddard Space Flight Center
Description As Hubble?s third repair mission unwinds, ground controllers send commands and instructions to the telescope while monitoring data from the observatory to check that it continues to function correctly. When this picture was taken, in 1999, command and control operations for Hubble were run from the Space Telescope Operations Center at NASA?s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Today command and control is run mainly from the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md.

Title Astronauts Training to Repair Hubble
Description Astronauts Steven Smith and John Grunsfeld train in a Goddard Space Flight Center clean room on a backup of an electrical section of Hubble in 1999. The electrical section holds transmitters, batteries, recorders and electronics that operate various parts of Hubble. The astronauts wear ?bunny suits,? special coveralls, hoods, gloves, boots and masks that protect the sensitive equipment from particles that could interfere with its performance.

Title Hubble's Largest Galaxy Portrait Offers a New High-Definition View
General Information What is Hubble Heritage? A monthly showcase of new and archival Hubble images. Go to the Heritage site. Giant galaxies weren?t assembled in a day. Neither was this Hubble Space Telescope image of the face-on spiral galaxy Messier 101 (M101). It is the largest and most detailed photo of a spiral galaxy that has ever been released from Hubble. The galaxy?s portrait is actually composed of 51 individual exposures taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 in March 1994, September 1994, June 1999, November 2002, and January 2003. The newly composed image also includes elements from images from ground-based photos.

Title Satellite Imagery of Hurricane Dennis (WMS)
Abstract Hurricane Dennis started as a tropical depression on August 23, 1999, became a tropical storm on August 24, and was classified as a hurricane early on August 26, near the Bahamas. From August 26 through August 31, Dennis proceeded up the coast of the United States until it stalled off the coast of North Carolina for four days because the pressure trough that was pushing it out to sea left it behind. This animation shows images of Dennis during its hurricane period from August 26 through August 31, 1999, when the stall began. The images were taken by the GOES-8 satellite, a weather satellite in geostationary orbit above the western hemisphere. The continuous white cloud progression came from infrared images from GOES, and the yellowish clouds that come and go with the daylight came from data taken in the visible spectrum, also from GOES. The GOES images were not taken at regular times, so the hurricane appears to slow down when the time between images gets small and speed up when the time between images gets large.

Title Side by Side View of the Michigan Bloom - July 24, Sept. 7, 1999
Abstract Two possible explanations for the brightening were advanced in 1999: A large bloom of cyanobacteria such as microcystis or an inorganic precipitation of calcium carbonate triggered by warming surface waters. I never heard whether one or the other choice was validated by researchers on Lake Michigan. A variety of atmospheric aerosols and clouds over the lake also effect the perceived brightness of the water from image to image.

Title NDVI Anomalies Show Areas of Likely Drought in the Western US (wide view)
Abstract Satellite data can gauge the health of plants, which is a good indicator of drought. Satellite imagery shows changes in vegetation between 1999 and 2003. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) measures how dense and green plant leaves are, which suggests overall vegetative health. The NDVI images are also useful as a measure of drought when compared to 'normal' plant health. NASA scientists calculate average NDVI values for an area to find out what is normal at a particular time of year. This data was measured by the vegetation instrument on Europe's SPOT satellite provided by DigitalGlobe/SPOT, under agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA/FAS). In 2002, drought had settled across the Midwest. Large dark brown sections of eastern Colorado show where vegetation was less lush and healthy than normal. This version of the visualization is a wide view showing the western United States.
