Landsat 9 Launch Trajectory Animation
When #Landsat9 is launched from Lompoc, CA, a ULA Atlas V booster will lift it out over the Pacific Ocean, over 2,500 miles away in the first 15 minutes, rising quickly. If all goes as expected, about an hour later Landsat 9 will be in orbit, 438 miles high, falling around the Earth at 16,760 miles per hour, positioned to capture years of imagery.

Image of the Week - Fires Worldwide as Seen by Landsat 8
Image of the Week - Fires Worldwide as Seen by Landsat 8Landsat satellites acquire useful data on wildfires around the world. Their near infrared and shortwave infrared imaging allows for detection and mapping of fire, smoke, and burn scars often in remote areas.
In California: the Dixie Fire near Lake Almanor and the Caldor Fire near Lake Tahoe.

Image of the Week - Ida Rains on Eastern Pennsylvania
Image of the Week - Ida Rains on Eastern PennsylvaniaThe remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped several inches of rain on eastern Pennsylvania.
These Landsat images show the Schuylkill River west of Philadelphia where muddied waters rose in several communities.
This image from August 26th shows typical river levels in the Phoenixville area.

Image of the Week - Caldor Fire Expands Toward Lake Tahoe
Image of the Week - Caldor Fire Expands Toward Lake TahoeThe Caldor fire in California started on August 14, 2021 and quickly spread in high winds.
The fire continues to expand toward the Lake Tahoe area as residents evacuate.
This image was captured on August 21, the 8th day.
Landsat 8's near infrared and shortwave infrared bands reveal active fire, burn scars, and smoke.

Image of the Week - Dixie Fire Ravages Northern California
Image of the Week - Dixie Fire Ravages Northern CaliforniaThe Dixie Fire has become the largest single fire in California's recorded history. State fire officials don't list it at the top, however. The record is held by the massive August Complex fire of 2020 which burned over one million acres. The term "complex" is used when multiple fires in the same area ignite separately.

Image of the Week - Cold War Craters in Nevada
One of the most cratered landscapes on Earth is part of the Nevada Desert called Yucca Flat. Landsat 8's near-infrared and short wave infrared imaging shows the pockmarked surface perhaps more reminiscent of other planetary bodies than Earth.
