NASA Looks Back at 50 Years of Earth Day

Показать описание
It’s been five decades since Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders photographed Earth peaking over the Moon’s horizon. The iconic image, dubbed Earthrise, inspired a new appreciation of the fragility of our place in the universe. Two years later, Earth Day was born to honor our home planet. As the world prepares to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, NASA reflects on how the continued growth of its fleet of Earth-observing satellites has sharpened our view of the planet’s climate, atmosphere, land, polar regions and oceans.

Also, there are 50 years of intensive utilization of advanced supercomputers used for processing massive collected data sets and fully developed simulation algorithms. NASA computing centers and their supercomputing installations remain ones of the most advanced in the scientific world.
