"Look at how thin our atmosphere is. This is all there is between humankind and deadly space." [1]

June 17 - Alexander Gerst on the #ISS [2]

A thin atmospheric layer enabling life as we know it... [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

We are just beginning to geo-monitor our thin atmosphere, earth and biosphere from space... [12] [13]

Beginning with first-ever images of our home planet, Earth, taken from the Apollo era... [14] [15]

We are now flying eyes-in-the-sky, earth-monitoring producing first-generation data and #sustainability realizations.

An #EarthPOV, a visual Overview that, over time, will educate and inform us...

Seeing how thin our atmosphere is

NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2): A game changer? http://climate.nasa.gov/blog/1105 [16]

Seeing climate change from space: NASA creates image-based iPad app [17]

Soon, each of us will be able to connect to and share earth-data as students of earth-space science and new digital networks.

With open data, links and digital apps, schools and future generations will learn new ways of seeing as citizens of the planet.

Isn't it about time we look carefully?
