#Landsat 9 captured imagery of an area in southern Switzerland that was devastated by a landslide on May 28th caused by partial glacier collapse. These natural color panchromatic-sharpened images show the area on May 13th, and again on May 29th.

Landsat satellites captured imagery of active fires in north-central Saskatchewan, described by the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency as the “busiest, most active fire level” this early in the season. Future #Landsat data will help assess landscape impacts.

Landsat images reveal the trails of ship traffic in major U.S. ports and harbors. Over 10 years of cloud-free imagery and the #Landsat panchromatic band were used to create these images.

A powerful storm system moved across the U.S. Southeast from Feb. 15-16, dropping up to 6 inches of rain and causing destructive flooding in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky. These false-color Landsat
images show the flooding in western Tennessee.

#DidYouKnow Landsat 8 was the first Landsat mission to use lunar calibration? 🌕 Every month, the satellite pivots to point at the moon and scans the distant lunar surface multiple times to ensure that the Operational Land Imager (OLI) is detecting light consistently.
