Travel Photos That Won’t Bore Your Friends

NASA’s Landsat 7 satellite travels in a sun-synchronous, polar orbit around Earth, collecting and transmitting up to 532 images of the planet’s various regions every day. Of the thousands of images produced, many have been deemed by the American space agency to have so much “aesthetic appeal” that they’re now part of an exhibit called The Landsat: Earth as Art. Only a science organization would use the phrase “aesthetic appeal” to describe these images. Try unique, mesmerizing, spectacular. Have a look at India’s Ganges River Delta, Namibia’s Namib Desert or Alaska’s Malaspina Glacier and see if you agree.
