On the contrary, feelings of significance were reinforced. One explanation for this unanticipated outcome might be that the astronauts felt deeply connected to Earth and so part of something much bigger and more meaningful than their mere selves. All the participants were more reverent toward their home planet.

They came back more geared towards solidarity and less towards individualism. Their inclinations to promote and act on common goals such as environmental issues were strengthened. The experience resonates with them all today and they continue, years after their return, to make sense and draw from it.

Below are some of the images that modern satellites have captured. Hover to view image details. July 25, Landsat 2. The resolution is 60 meters per pixel in this false-color image, where shades of red indicate vegetated land and grays and whites are urban or rocky surfaces.

Now, let's look through the eyes of a satellite. Continue scrolling to zoom in on Earth Because the Earth is a sphere, it's impossible for a satellite to see the entire map at one time. Many satellites are in geosynchronous orbit and go around the Earth exactly once every 24 hours. Some satellites are geostationary , meaning that the satellite always remains above exactly the same spot on the planet's surface. The first Landsat satellite, launched in , had a ground resolution of 80 meters, meaning that objects at least 80 meters across could be distinguished from one another in the captured photographs.

The availability of satellite images has led to the creation of a number of companies that write algorithms to analyze the imagery and provide competitive analysis. These companies, and others like SpaceX, are leading the way towards the commodification of geospatial analysis and satellite operation in general.

Today satellite images of just about any location on Earth are public for anyone to view, and — if you are willing to pay — they are available in very high resolution. Some modern commercial satellites are able to distinguish objects that are less than one meter in size.
