ALT Face-on spiral galaxy, with tightly winding arms spiraling out clockwise. It looks like a whirlpool in water. The arms are lined with pink star-forming regions of glowing hydrogen and newborn blue star clusters. Dust lanes that provide the raw material for future generations of stars give the entire galaxy a dusky glow. The bright nucleus is home to an older population of stars, which grow ever more densely packed toward the center. The nucleus peers out of the center of the image like an eye. Scattered stars dot the background.
ALT An artistic rendering of the NISAR satellite orbiting Earth. The satellite features a large radar reflector and solar panels, capturing Earth's surface below. The image includes the text 'Teachable Moment' in a purple box and 'NISAR' in bold white letters.
ALT A visualization from NASA's "Eyes on Earth" program shows the NISAR spacecraft as it would look above Earth. A chunk of the Earth is shown below the spacecraft with swirls of clouds and the dark ocean below. In the background are stars against the blackness of space.
ALT A visualization taken from NASA's Eyes on Earth website shows the NISAR spacecraft above Earth's clouds in low orbit. The clouds are white with bits of dark blue ocean peaking through as the gold-colored spacecraft soars above it. The spacecraft contrasts against the black canvas of space.
ALT NISAR Project Scientist Paul Rosen of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is shown in a black suit with a red and blue striped tie and light blue dress shirt. He is set against a black background.
ALT This image shows the globe color coded to indicate its surface type. Most of the image is black to indicate calm water, the ocean, or dry sand. Rough water is depicted in shades of purple. The continents are shaded in green where there is vegetation, and white where there are urban areas or little vegetation.
