            "description": "The series of visualizations below are derived from satellite imagery and radar sounding. They portray both the location and size of the 31-kilometer-wide impact crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier. They also portray the structure of the glacier ice that flows into and fills the crater.The Hiawatha impact crater was first suspected to exist in the summer of 2015, from examination of a compilation of Greenland's sub-ice topography radar measurements made by NASA over two decades. The visualizations of the subsurface shown below are derived from a spring 2016 airborne survey by Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute, using a new ultrawideband radar sounder developed by the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets at The University of Kansas. Subsequent helicopter visits to the deglaciated terrain in front of Hiawatha Glacier by scientists from the Natural History Museum in Denmark recovered sediment samples from the main river that discharges water from beneath Hiawatha Glacier, through the northwestern rim breach. Laboratory examination revealed that these sediment samples contained shocked quartz and elevated platinum-group-element concentrations, both signs that the sediment records evidence of the impact of an iron asteroid more than one kilometer wide. The Hiawatha impact crater is potentially one of the youngest large impact craters on Earth.In the visualizations below, the elevation of the topography of the bed, the ice surface and the radar curtains have been exaggerated ten times in order to better illustrate their structure. || ",

Active fires, which can be detected based on calculations using the shortwave infrared and near-infrared bands, are shown in red on the true color images. The shortwave and near-infrared images penetrate the smoke to provide a clearer view of the burn scar.

In the October image, the fall leaves in the highest elevations have already begun transitioning into shades of orange and brown. Sapporo receives an average of approximately 360 centimeters (250 inches) of snowfall each year, making it one of the snowiest cities in the world and an ideal site for winter activities. The city hosts its annual Sapporo Snow Festival in February each year, and hosted the Winter Olympics in 1972. The April image shows that even in early spring, there is still plenty of snow covering the nearby mountains. || ",

            "description": "Twin volcanic plumes—one of ash, one of gas—rose from Sicily’s Mount Etna on the morning of October 26, 2013. L’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) Osservatorio Etneo (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology Etna Observatory) reported that Etna was experiencing its first paroxysm in six months. Multiple eruption columns are common at Etna, a result of complex plumbing within the volcano. The Northeast Crater, one of several on Etna’s summit, was emitting the ash column, while the New Southeast Crater was simultaneously venting mostly gas.This natural-color image collected by Landsat 8 shows the view from space at 11:38 a.m. local time. The towering, gas-rich plume cast a dark shadow over the lower, ash-rich plume and Etna’s northwestern flank. Relatively fresh lava flows (less than a century or so old) are dark gray; vegetation is green; and the tile-roofed buildings of Bronte and Biancavilla lend the towns an ochre hue. || ",

            "description": "In the Western United States between 80 and 90% of freshwater is used for agriculture. In Southern California irrigated farmland stretches southward across the desert from the Salton Sea—an artificial inland sea—to the Mexico border. In the natural-color image [left] acquired on May 15, 2013, by Landsat 8’s Operational Land Imager, blocks of square farmland appear in shades of green and tan, while urban areas such as El Centro, California and Mexicali, Mexico appear in shades of gray. Accurate estimates of total crop area provided by Landsat satellites can be used to help forecast commodities in the United States and the world food market. On that same day, thermal measurements from Landsat 8’s Thermal Infrared Sensor [right] show different temperatures between crop fields as well as urban and desert areas. Cooler areas (e.g., irrigated crops) appear as dark purple and red shades, while warmer areas (e.g., urban and desert areas) appear as shades of bright yellow and white. Plants cool down when they transpire, so the combination of water evaporating from the plants and the ground (i.e., evapotranspiration) lowers the temperature of the irrigated land. Pixels representing cooler areas in thermal images from TIRS help water-resource managers determine where water is being used for irrigation, allowing them to make management decisions on water distribution to preserve this scarce resource. When an earlier design of Landsat 8 did not include a thermal infrared band, the Western States Water Council advocated for its inclusion.Used in 2014 Calendar. || ",

            "description": "On April 2, 2013, the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) spacecraft obtained this true-color view of Washington, DC, and the surrounding suburban region. The image was made with 15-meter (49-feet) panchromatic spatial resolution data from the Observational Land Imager (OLI) onboard LDCM. Grey and white shades depict urban areas (e.g., city streets, buildings, sidewalks), while vegetation appears as shades of brown and dark green. In Washington, DC, gridded streets expand from the city’s center and the irrigated lawns of the National Mall, memorial parks, and golf courses appear green. Landsat satellites provide global coverage of the Earth’s surface every season of the year. Scientists use Landsat images like this one to study how land-cover and land-use change over time. Vegetation for example, appears mostly brown in this image because it was taken in early spring when most vegetation is still dormant following winter months. However, in just a few short weeks, this same scene will look very different (i.e., much “greener”) and LDCM will get a much different view of our Nation’s capital. || ",

            "description": "Intense rainfall in northern and eastern Colorado brought widespread, destructive flooding in mid-September 2013. This pair of images from the Operational Land Imager on the Landsat 8 satellite shows the South Platte River near Greely, Colorado on June 29, 2013 and September 17, 2013. At the time of the latter image, the river was more than six feet above flood stage, down from more than eight feet above flood stage. The September image shows that the flood has washed away roads, including sections of U.S. Highway 34. Farmland and a few developed areas are under water. Heavy rain caused flooding across the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains starting on September 11, and much of that water made its way into the South Platte River. The river reached a record 18.79 feet in the early morning hours of September 14. The previous record crest was 11.73 feet. Flood stage is 10 feet. || ",

            "description": "These images illustrate the growth of the Hobet mine in Boone County, WV as it moves from ridge to ridge between 1984 and 2015. The natural forested landscape appears dark green, creased by steams and indented by hollows. Active mining areas, however, appear off-white and areas being reclaimed with vegetation appear light green. The law requires coal operators to restore the land to its approximate original shape, but the rock debris generally can’t be securely piled as high or graded as steeply as the original mountaintop. There is always too much rock left over, and coal companies dispose of it by building valley fills in hollows, gullies, and streams. While the image from 2015 shows apparent green-up of restored lands, it also shows expanded operations in the west. The resulting impacts to stream biodiversity, forest health, and ground-water quality are high, and may be irreversible. || ",

The OLI captured the natural-color image that shows the white cloud of ash drifting northwest over the darker forests and water, while TIRS detected thermal infrared radiation, or heat, from the scene. The TIRS image reveals a hot spot (bright white) where lava was oozing out near the top of the volcano, surrounded by cooler ash clouds (dark gray). The image pair illustrates the value of having both OLI and TIRS on Landsat-8 and highlights TIRS ability to detect very small changes in temperature over small distances—down to about a tenth of a degree Celsius. || ",

            "description": "The presence of high, thin cirrus clouds can be hard to detect and their shadows can interfere with satellite observations. Even satellite sensors designed to “see” beyond the visible spectrum struggle to detect them. Landsat-8’s Operational Land Imager (OLI) can detect these clouds better than previous Landsat sensors because in addition to measuring visible and infrared light in similar ranges to its predecessors, it also includes a shortwave infrared band (band 9)—which is useful for cirrus cloud detection. For example, the natural-color OLI image of the Aral Sea from March 24, 2013 shown here appears to have been taken on a relatively clear day. When viewed in the cirrus-detecting band alone (grayscale image) however, bright white clouds appear. The point of the cirrus band is to alert Landsat users to the presence of cirrus clouds so they know that the data in the pixels under the clouds could be slightly askew. Scientists could then use images taken on a cloud-free day, or they could correct the data from the other spectral bands to account for the cirrus clouds. || ",
