A Decade Of Observing Earth From Space Has GivenUs These Breathtaking Views [PHOTOS]
The European Space Agencymay never have had the glamor of the Apollo
missions or space shuttle launches, but they've quietly launched some of the most
advanced Earth observation satellites around.
The ESA's Envistat satellitewas the largest Earth observation satelliteever built.
Since 2002, it has circled the Earth, collecting invaluable information on our
environment and the advancing danger of climate change. Contact with Envistat
was suddenly lost in April 2012, but the wealth of information it collected
remains.
Every week, the European Space Agency releases a new satellite image taken by
Envistat and other Earth-observation satellites launched by ESA and other space
agencies. They show incredible places on Earth, from the Sahara Desert to volcanoes in the Congo, in ways we've
never seen before.

The description of the above photo is incorrect! "This is the rolling
