Remote sensing and the Geographer’s Eye Astronaut taking a photo from space.

Astronauts on the ‘station’ set up the camera in a special window.

Image Routing

During EarthKam missions students take remote sensing photos of places on Earth such as the Aral Sea

Dark and light blue Straight lines Wavy line Gray area Recognizable features?? Using a photo you have taken, analyze the image with these questions. 1. Type of shot? 2. Orientation? 3. What patterns/colors do you see? 4. What landforms are recognizable? 5. Names of places? 6.Name of regions /countries in photo?
