This exhibition looks really neat! “Earth as Art” on view at The Library of CongressFree
Tuesday, May 31st - Thursday, May 31st, 2012
This exhibit, designed by the US Geologic Survey, displays 40 award-winning satellite images. Although the satellites are used to monitor important natural processes, these images of the earth’s surface have been chosen for their aesthetic appeal, rather than for their scientific value. Pictured above is the Parana River Delta a huge forested marshland about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
