What is a satellite 'underfly'? 🛰️ Early in its mission life, #Landsat 9 flew directly under Landsat 8, and the two imaged Earth simultaneously. This allowed scientists to cross-calibrate the instruments, ensuring accurate and consistent data for long-term Earth observation. | Landsat

The Landsat program is the longest continuous global record of the Earth's surface, and continues to deliver both visually stunning and scientifically valuable images of our planet. This short video highlights Landsat's many benefits to society. http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a010500/a010513/ | Landsat

🌍✨ Ever wondered what it looks like to travel across half the world in just 15 minutes? NASA’s Landsat 8 satellite, also known as the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), captured one continuous strip of Earth stretching 5,665 miles — from northern Russia all the way to South Africa! 🚀 Each pixel shows about 30 meters of ground, and the satellite’s camera covers a massive 185 km-wide swath in one pass. Normally, Landsat orbits the entire planet in about 100 minutes… but this “director’s cut
