Scientific paper
NASA holds thousands of time-series Earth image sets taken from space by NASA astronauts and satellites. These image sets powerfully illustrate geophysical phenomena such as the formation and effects of hurricanes, the annual changes in atmospheric Ozone and other atmospheric components, the varying biodiversity of the planet over time, cumulative earthquake activity, annual gamma ray incidence and dozens of others. These image sets are now available on the internet from NASA at no cost. NASA has also developed a free virtual globe software application for personal computers, NASA World Wind, to view these images and play them as movies projected onto a three-dimensional Earth. Highly compelling and interesting, NASA's time-series image sets displayed interactively in NASA World Wind provide a presentation of geophysical phenomena that appeals to students and conveys lasting understanding. This presentation demonstrates the educational possibilities of these.
