The USGS Western Geographic Center is hosting an art exhibit of 41 spectacular satellite images acquired by the Landsat 7 satellite. These remarkable portraits of earth, selected for their aesthetic value, will be on display at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park April 24 - 20. The color enhanced satellite images show astonishing patterns and abstractions of vivid colors and fantastic shapes.

"Our Earth as Art: A Landsat Perspective" celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Landsat program -- the United States' oldest land-surface observation satellite system that captures remotely sensed images of the earth's land surface and surrounding coastal regions. A series of satellites have been launched since 1972, with Landsat 5 and 7 currently in orbit. Landsat is a dual-agency program between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.
