Arrange for Change Poster

Visualizations by Cindy Starr Released on October 23, 2006

As part of the Earth to Sky project, this graphic is being used by the National Park Service (NPS) as a 7.5 X 9.8 foot traveling exhibition booth. Earth to Sky is a partnership between NASA and NPS that gives NASA content to NPS interpreters to help park visitors connect with the natural and cultural heritage of the U.S. The 'Arrange for Change' theme, provides information about the climate change and its consequences for National Parks. The 'Blue Marble' Earth image and star field provided by the Scientific Visualization Studio are used to evoke the emotional connection that this is the only planet we can call home.

This image shows the finished version of the poster developed by the National Park Service, including the description and images overlain on the background image. A PDF version of this image is avaliable here. The textual description from the poster is also available here.

This element contains a very high resolution background of the star field divided into four panels. Each panel has a 600 pixel overlap on all sides. The panels are labeled with the letters A, B, C and D. The letters and lines are shown at the left for information purposes only, and are not in the downloaded images.
