What does the Earth look like? When you close your eyes, you likely imagine a blue planet floating peacefully in space. Surprisingly, this iconic image has been with humanity for only about half a century, when it first glimpsed just over 50 years ago. Since that transformative moment, our perception of Earth has been continuously evolving. In the crystal-clear lenses of satellites, our planet reveals itself in unexpected colors and patterns, providing enormous amounts of data to us. This show presents the story of how satellite technologies have revolutionized our understanding of our home. We witness Earth not merely as a static blue marble but as a dynamic, ever-changing ecosystem. Thanks to advanced orbital observations and in situ measurements, we gain unprecedented insights, enabling us to react swiftly even to sudden environmental shifts and natural disasters. Discover how continuous advancements in satellite technologies and coordinated global Earth observation programs empower us to monitor our planet more accurately than ever before and respond more effectively to its ongoing transformations.
The presentation opens with an immersive live tour of tonight’s sky—an engaging experience that is always changing—brought to life by Digistar 7.
This movie was produced as an Erasmus+ funded project titled "Under surveillance: Earth observation as a chance for the future of the environment" under the number "2023-1-CZ01-KA220-ADU-000160172"
