The power of technology makes us better understand the Earth we live on.
NASA has provided satellite images of many major landmarks on Earth. If you compare those images with each other, you will clearly see the change in the “face of the world” affected by climate change. The difference in shooting time from decades, even hundreds of years, many places in the world have had amazing transformations. Take a look at the photo series “Earth past and present” to clearly feel how our planet has changed in just a century!
