I have been saying to a lot of people that US’s National Aeronautics and Space Agengy (NASA) are not only good on building rockets. Believe me, the people who put the man on the moon, are doing also good journalism.
Just take a look on the images bellow. These are satellite images from the Artic and show a large ice melting within a short space of time in last august. The whole story can be read on Nasa’s Earth Observatory website.
Huge melting going on
My point here is `This is a tremendous compelling image!’.
But it is not only about image, I must recognize. When you read the full story, you see that good information make the whole thing even better.
I have to tell you that the NASA’s Earth Observatory was kind of a shock to me. These guys are producing amazing information and yet giving us beautiful (free!) images. I signed their newsletters right away and everyweek they are sending amazing material. Specially if you sign up for the Natural Hazards section, you might find a lot of stories to write about only by looking at a map. Try.
