	Aerial Photographs and Satellite Images
		Remotely sensed images are usually categorized according to the altitude of the aircraft or spacecraft and the characteristics of the sensors used to generate the images.
		The altitude from which an image is taken and the physical characteristics of the sensor, such as the lens focal length in the case of cameras, largely determine the area covered and the amount of detail shown.
		Satellite scanner data are commonly displayed as images whose colors resemble those of color-infrared aerial photographs, but the colors of a given image can be manipulated by computer to enhance landscape features.

	Franklin's Forecast - Satellite Images
		Visible images are the most like photographs because they show the sunlight that is reflected from the Earth.
		Satellite sensors measure the amount of infrared energy emitted by the clouds and ground below, and computers interpret the data, generating infrared images for meteorologists to use.
		Satellite sensors measure the amount of energy that water vapor molecules emit.

	Satellite imagery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first satellite photographs of the Moon might have been made on October 6, 1959 by the Soviet satellite Luna 3, on a mission to photograph the far side of the Moon.
		The resolution of satellite images varies depending on the instrument used and the altitude of the satellite's orbit.
		Satellite imagery can be combined with vector or raster data in a GIS provided that the imagery has been spatially rectified so that it will properly align with other data sets.

	Satellite Imagemap of the World - 1,000 meter resolution for media use
		The full-resolution World coverage Satellite Imagemap, with a pixel resolution of 1 km for any location in the world, is 43,200 by 21,600 pixels - 2.3 gigabytes of data in 24 bit RGB colour.
		Images are geocoded in a simple cylindrical projection (latitude-longitude grid) for easy use with other geographic information such as digital maps, gazetteers and terrain models.
		In addition to the 1 kilometer satellite imagery, we also offer a range of very high resolution sources running from as detailed as 2 meter, thru 10, 15, 20 and 30 meter, 160 and 250 meter from various remote sensing sources.

	Reading Satellite Images--Earth Science/Physical Science lesson plan (grades 6-8)--DiscoverySchool.com
		Explain that satellites use remote sensing instruments to collect data, which are transmitted from the satellite to the ground as radar or microwave signals.
		Satellite radar works by emitting a signal to the ground and measuring the time it takes to return to the satellite.
		Each image is accompanied by a caption that explains how the image has been computer-enhanced to reveal nature's secrets and human influence on the environment.

	Satellite Images
		The satellite images above are obtained from the GOES-9 satellite and are provided with the permission of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the United States' National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
		The time stamp on the images is the start time of the reception of the top of the image from the satellite.
		Note that images toward the beginning and end of each day show large fl areas because those areas are un-illuminated by the rising or setting sun.

	Weather satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A weather satellite is a type of satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth.
		Polar satellites are in sun-synchronous orbits, which means they are able to observe any place on Earth and will view every location twice each day with the same general lighting conditions due to the near-constant local solar time.
		Visible-light images from weather satellites during local daylight hours are easy to interpret even by the average person; clouds, cloud systems such as fronts and tropical storms, lakes, forests, mountains, snow ice, fires, and pollution such as smoke, smog, dust and haze are readily apparent.

	AccuWeather.com - Enhanced Infrared Satellite Images
		Satellite images are measurements of the Earth (some are "photos" in the classic sense) taken from high in space by governmental satellites, and used to show clouds and cloud movement.
		The term "Infrared" means that the satellite is detecting the temperature of the clouds.
		An issue with this type of satellite is that it is difficult to see the small differences in the temperature of the clouds near the edge of the scale, and turning grey to white is sometimes not visible enough to the naked eye.

	Met Office: British Isles: Visible satellite imagery
		The visible images record visible light from the sun reflected back to the satellite by cloud tops and land and sea surfaces.
		They are better able to show low cloud than infrared images (low cloud is more reflective than the underlying land or sea surface).
		Coast-lines and lines of latitude and longitude have been added to the images and they have been altered to polar stereographic projection.

		Their low altitude of around 500 miles allows high resolution images while the near-polar orbit allows global coverage without the distortion over northern latitudes that geo-stationary satellites suffer from.
		Geo-stationary satellites circle the earth in a geosynchronous orbit, which means they orbit at the same speed as the earth's rotation.
		Since the satellite is centered over the equator, there is also significant distortion over northern latitudes.
