Earth from space 2014

Every day of every year, NASA satellites provide useful data about our home planet, and along the way, some beautiful images as well. This video includes satellite images of Earth in 2014 from NASA and its partners as well as photos and a time lapse video from the International Space Station.

A range of data visualizations, model runs, and a conceptual animations that were produced in 2014 (but in some cases might have been utilizing data from earlier years) is also included.
