Space offers us a position from which we can look at ourselves and our ecosphere. We can keep track of the transformation of our habitat, from the drying of river estuaries to the melting of polar icecaps. We can see the Earth as a single breathing entity. Planet Earth is a collection of astonishing satellite imagery—150 color photographs that have been gathered by the German Aerospace Center in collaboration with its partners at NASA and with space centers from Mexico to India. The photos have been made by satellites—some more than 22,000 miles above the equator—transmitted as electronic data and then proceed together by many different scientists from around the world to reveal what is not visible to the human eye.
