Top five NASA Landsat Satellites Images of Earth
During a span of 40 years, since 1972, the Landsat series of Earth observation satellites has become a vital reference worldwide for understanding scientific issues related to land use and natural resources.
Beyond the scientific information they supply, some Landsat images are simply striking to look at, presenting spectacular views of mountains, valleys, and islands as well as forests, grasslands, and agricultural patterns.
By selecting certain features and colouring them from a digital palate, the U.S. Geological Survey has created a series of "Earth as Art" perspectives that demonstrate an artistic resonance in satellite land imagery and provide a special avenue of insight about the geography of each scene.
NASA asked the public to vote on their favourite images from the more than 120 images in the online "Earth as Art" collection. From over 14,000 votes the top five winners were:
1st Place: Van Gogh from Space Landsat 7 Acquired 7/13/2005. In the style of Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night," massive congregations of greenish phytoplankton swirl in the dark water around Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. Population explosions, or blooms, of phytoplankton, like the one shown here, occur when deep currents bring nutrients up to sunlit surface waters, fuelling the growth and reproduction of these tiny plants.
2nd Place: Yukon Delta Landsat 7 Acquired 9/22/2002. Countless lakes, sloughs, and ponds are scattered throughout this scene of the Yukon Delta in southwest Alaska. One of the largest river deltas in the world, and protected as part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, the river's sinuous waterways seem like blood vessels branching out to enclose an organ.
3rd Place: Meandering Mississippi Landsat 7 Acquired 5/28/2003. ...

Van Gogh drawn using one line
Artists draws masterpieces using one line, Singapore - Oct 2011
FULL WORDS LINK: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/dno8
VIDEO LINK: http://bit.ly/nmV7a3
An artist has recreated masterpieces using just ONE continuous line.
Hwee Chong painstakingly drew single circles to slowly build up the details of the Mona Lisa, Girl With A Pearl Earring and Van Gogh's self portrait.
The Singapore-based art director was given a brief by pen maker Faber Castell to show off the precision of their product.
He decided to delicately build up the details of several iconic art pieces by using different widths of black line.
The amazing achievement saw Hwee having to start again every time he went wrong.

COTTON SPOOL ART BY DEVORAH SPERBER
Devorah Sperber is a clever sew and sew - she makes stunning art pieces from thousands of cotton spools.
The New York-based artist's work includes a 1,102 spool portrait of Star Trek's Dr Spock and a thread reproduction of the Mona Lisa made from 5,184 bobbins.
She has also created a yarn version of Da Vinci's The Last Supper using an amazing 20,736 reels.
To create the pieces Devorah hangs different coloured thread spools on wire to make up a 'pixelated' upside-down picture.
The images can only be unravelled by looking through a special viewing magnifying glass which corrects the inverted image, just as the lens of the eye projects an inverted image onto the retina which is corrected by the brain.
Devorah's concept is based on the technology of print making and how although pictures are separated into tiny pixels, the human mind can still make sense of the images.
"As a visual artist," she says, "I cannot think of a topic more stimulating and yet so basic than the act of seeing - how the human brain makes sense of the visual world."
And it was reel-y easy to find the correct materials to use in her work.
"When compiling a list of materials that could become real life pixels my criteria was that the objects had to be beautiful in and of themselves, come in a wide range of colours, and to be readily available....
