ALT Graphic of a farmer holding a tablet with data on it while standing by a field. The field has rows of yellow wheat and a tractor. Another field on the right of the image has crop circles. Above, satellites orbit Earth, collecting data about the ground below.

ALT This image shows a navy blue circle with a logo in the center that reads “NASA’s Curious Universe” in white letters with stars in the upper left and bottom right. Surrounding the circle, there are panels of shades of alternative reds and blues with red icons floating. The icons include a plane, planet Saturn, an asteroid with smaller rocks surrounding, a satellite, a question mark, a telescope, molecules, and part of a visualization of a black hole.

ALT Astronaut photograph of Ngangla Ringco. The lake dominates most of the image and stands out from the surrounding brown and gray toned land. The lake is two-toned. The top left area is a bright turquoise and most of the right part of the lake is dark blue.

ALT Diagram explaining equinoxes. In the center is a yellow circle depicting the Sun. Earth is shown with a line showing how its axis is tilted and Africa is roughly centered on the globe. Behind the Sun (above it in this diagram) is Earth fully lit by sunlight, labeled ‘March Equinox.’ On the right is Earth with its left half in the light and right half in the darkness, labeled ‘December Solstice.’ At the bottom is Earth fully obscured by darkness, labeled ‘September Equinox’. On the left is Earth with its left half in the darkness and right half in the light, labeled ‘June Solstice’.

ALT In this cartoonish illustration, the NISAR spacecraft is in space beaming down a signal directly below it to Earth. It is observing a wide strip of Earth's surface - allowing it to image the entire Earth in 12 days.

ALT Astronaut photograph of South Georgia. The island is covered in white snow and is mountainous, with a long range of tall peaks running the length of the island. Dark waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean surround the island. On the right is a tiny island, Annenkov Island. Opaque, wispy gray clouds obscure the sea surface in many areas.

ALT An image from space of Alaska’s Kachemak Bay slicing through the middle or two green pieces of land. Homer is labeled on the top left coastline. The bay is a gradient of hues and colors starting with deep blue at the bottom left and turning lighter up the image to the top right where the bay ends. The white of a glacier is in the bottom right corner and cream colored sediment flows into the bay from various creeks including Grewick creek which is labeled towards the middle.

ALT Satellite image of a large smoke plume. The smoke is especially thick and gray just south of Ensenada, Mexico, where the blazes burned. The rest of the landscape of Baja California is brown and mountainous. The smoke plume extends to the left and out over the dark blue water of the Pacific Ocean.

ALT Students pose in front of NASA’s P3 aircraft, a large white plane. They are standing in a hanger at Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, VA and are all wearing white t-shirts with a NASA logo.

ALT Terrestrial ecology students measuring spectra. The students are standing or squatting in a field with tall brown and green grasses. Some have cameras on tripods, some have clipboards, and others are carrying white pipes arranged in a square. Behind them, the sky is blue and there are a few buildings and trees in the distance.
