**Unlocking Earth's Secrets: The ASTER Satellite Image Archive**
Since its launch in 1999, the Terra satellite has been a game-changer in Earth observation, thanks to its Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). In this exciting video, we explore the groundbreaking capabilities of ASTER, a collaboration between NASA and Japan's METI, which has been capturing stunning images from its sun-synchronous orbit at 705 kilometers above the Earth.
✨ **What You'll Discover:**
- The incredible journey of ASTER and its role in monitoring our planet.
- A glimpse into the vast archive of over 2.95 million high-resolution images, now available for free to the public!
- Eye-opening visuals of natural disasters, including the EF-5 tornado in Oklahoma, devastating floods in Pakistan, volcanic eruptions in Iceland, and raging wildfires in California.
- Insights into how ASTER's data is utilized in scientific research to monitor glacial movements, assess crop health, track volcanoes, and much more!
