The Current Data Slate Library

Ares Vallis

Panorama - A panoramic view of the local Martian landscape. Find the image which annotates the rock 'names'. Get out your 3-D glasses for 'three-D'! How is this image prepared?

Safsaf Oasis

SIR-C - Click on the title for information about the data sets. These are Landsat and SIR-C images. SIR-C is an acronym for Spaceborne Imaging Radar on C band (6 cm). Check on the Radar Tutorial from JPL for more detailed information on radar imaging. The full tutorial resides on CD's 'SIRCED01 and 02' SIR-C Education Program CD's from JPL. More information on SIR-C and Imaging Radar may be found at:

Milky Way

When you click on different wavelength interrogations, we are reminded of how little the ordinary eye is able to detect. How much of the electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the visible light section?

All Sky

The 'information' screen tells us that posters are available.

Jupiter

A very active atmosphere.

Cuprite, Nevada

Some great comments on remote sensing! Read how minerals are observed and detected by remote sensing.

San Gabriel Mountains

It might be interesting to follow the San Andreas fault line through the image.

Pasadena

Find the Rose Bowl!

Grand Island, Nebraska

Again, there is more information on remote sensing.

Alma, Nebraska

Find Alma in all of the images. Alma resides on the North shore at the upper end of the lake. Note that Republican City has moved!

Omaha

Page one of this tutorial describes locating some some landmarks in the images. The TM3 band gives a good look at Eppley Airfield. Try overlaying the 'dem' with radar to see the Mormon Bridge area. Perhaps you can see by the terrain why some western migration crossings were done here.
