NASA Makes Two Decades of Satellite Images of Earth Available To the Public (discovermagazine.com)
The longest continuous daily satellite observation record of Earth ever compiled is now available for all of us to peruse. Tom Yulsman, writing for Discover Magazine: Multiple instruments aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, launched in 1999 and 2002, respectively, have kept close watch on the virtually the entire planet for nearly 20 years. Now, for the first time, the entire treasure trove of imagery and scientific information is available for exploration in Worldview, an engaging, interactive web-based application. I've been using Worldview regularly to find imagery for use here at ImaGeo since I launched the blog in 2013. But until now, there was a significant limitation: The data available went back only to 2012. Now, after more than five years of work, NASA has extended what's available on Worldview back to the year 2000, when the Terra satellite first became operational. Terra was lofted into polar orbit with a suite of five remote sensors. The most comprehensive is an instrument called the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.
I guess world wide coverage is new. But this isn't all that valuable to most American work because the USGS has published full aerial coverage of the States since the 1940's, and the period between 2002-2016 is pretty extensive and easy to get a hold of.
Nuthin'.

I found it neat to slide the timeline over dates of hurricanes or big forest fires around here, and see it from a birds eye.
They must have some higher resolution copies of the images however, while it's really easy to see the hurricane path, it's very difficult to see much of the fires.
... world is flat bruh ... #fakenews
I tried it and was shocked how crappy the photos are. All you see is clouds and you can't even zoom in to any kind of reasonable level. It's a useless piece of shit, this service. Nothing at all like what I imagined. Pointless. Stupid. Misleading.
Being the US Tax Payers paid for them, it only seems fair, if anything two decades over fucking due.
No, but the extra mass in Mississippi more than makes up for it. :)
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.

Trump's whitehouse blocked free access to a bunch of previously free and widely available reports (mainly to do with EPA findings).
Somebody download this imagery quick, before they realize we're getting something for nothing (except for having funded NASA for all these years).
As expected after five years of work.
They also took these five years to doctor the images to make the Earth look spherical !
The liars, they want to hide the truth that Earth's flat!

Okay, I admit, that one was a really low-hanging joke about "conspiracy theory" nuts.

If Nasa didn't release the data, Trumpkin would get around to deleting it all and claiming it's all BS. Like all the Government data related to global warming.
If you can't name whom you're trolling, you're just a pathetic little troll.
for flat-eartherism.
No, probably not. As Toshiro Mifune once said in one of his many movies, translated to English for wider appreciation of the wisdom of his words: "the only cure for stupidity is death".
Wait. I thought the Earth was still flat?
You need USB 5005 to support the power hungry creimer although creimer isn't exactly eye candy.
He also finished deploying 750 PCs and 1,500 monitors ahead of schedule, ending his 12-month contract after nine months.
You delusional piece of lard!
I had to redeploy those 750 PCs by myself after paying you to do it. That's why I let you go early so you wouldn't be in the way!
I redeployed everything in 3 months and met the deadline but the money we gave you is a total lost.
You also threw away a bunch of valuable spare parts in your genius closet cleaning and we had to buy new ones, further adding to the bill. You are a disaster.

CROFLOL! He most probably ate those spare parts and farted as he was going...
Cool, now we can go back and find the WMD.
Or show that there wasn't any such thing, and the whole war was an excuse for... don't ask me - I'm not the one who did it...

Yeah right.
It seems that TardCre1mer thinks that every utterance of his name on slashdot is some sort of productive brand building so we refrain from directly mentioning him.
Now how about this... if you can't give me a billion dollars you're a serial killer!!
If you don't run out in the middle of the road and wiggle like a fish on land... well you're a... a big stinky pussy!!
If you don't whatever whatever whatever then you're a namey name name!!
Jesus christ you have the weakest se of social manipulation skills and yet you're always leaning on them. Maybe you don't know but people instantly hate you if you try and manipulate them emotionally or socially and they catch on. It's likely they'll never trust you again.
This is why it's generally a no-no. I hope you don't try to pull this shit in real life.
How_to_defeat_CRE1MER_on_Slashdot!!!
1)Why-are-people-upset-with-him? 2)What-can-I-do? 3)What-are-his-sockpuppets? 4)Who-is-FatCashewsLovesMe? 5)How-to-defeat-his-hustles 6)Why-are-there-dashes?
1)Why-are-people-upset-with-himHe makes frequent low quality posts for two reasons:
Money)BASICALLY: He made thousands of shitty posts and bragged about how much money it made him.
DETAILS: He wants you to follow his referrer links. He wants you to have his referrer cookie, even if he links to something stupid and promises you that its great and you don't buy it. If you shop on some sites later on and buy other things he'll get a portion of what youve spent. He ALSO tries to drive traffic to various blogs and vlogs that so give him money.
KarmaHe believes karma accumulates infinitely. So he makes lots of pointless posts that are not bad enough to mod down but maybe you will mod them up if youre trying to use up your mod points. He was a raging ahole for awhile thinking that he had a warchest of karma armor to protect him.
3)What-can-I-do DOWNMOD you will usually get more mod points, get the oldest posts first you will have plenty of time to get around to the latest ones. Most metamods recognize his name and will not penalize you for modding him down. AC posts by him are usually refilled as well. METAMOD his posts down. REPLY ONLY as ANONYMOUS COWARD and reply only to the most deeply nested comments because this helps hide his posts. Downvote his SUBMISSIONS he has gotten banned for self promotion and also uses submission karma to dodge the mods.
3)What-are-his-sockpuppets Most famous: CRE1MER CDRE1MER, ILoveFatCashews, Anonymous Cashews, The Fat Bastard
4)Who-is-FatCashewsLoveMe Mildly annoying. Sort of funny. He works tirelessly to contain cr@imer. Not me. Not cr@imer
5)How-can-I-avoid-his-hustles DONT FOLLOW HIS LINKS!!!
IF YOU MUST:Use a private tab and never buy anything on the same session. You can get yourself a part of the commission hed get if you use a cashback shopping portal to buy whatever he spams on amazon, Ill let you pick your own. Or if he fools you just close the tab and clear the cookies for that site. There are other sites other than yutube that will let you watch his videos. I dont know if it even matters but I can picture his jowls jiggling at the though of people subverting his 'business model'
6)Why-are-there-dashes (and other weird stuff) I know most will only skim these posts and I want the most important information to sink in at a glance. If there is something of interest hopefully you can find it. I also avoid actually using "CRE1MER'S" name because he may think that he gets something from having it indexed by search engines.
