New Orleans from Space
Thumbnail Image:
Description:
Postcard of New Orleans, LA. The top image is a 1972 false color Landsat 1 scene of New Orleans, LA that uses green, red, and infrared wavelengths to highlight vegetation in red. Advances in space imaging over the past four and a half decades allow sensors to record more wavelengths. Today, true color Landsat 8 scenes, such as the one shown in the bottom image, look like photographs from space.
