The View from Orbit
The View from Orbit
Explore satellite images with your computer or mobile device, and maybe discover the unknown.
Explore satellite images with your computer or mobile device, and maybe discover the unknown.
Try this:
Run Google Earth (app or online: https://earth.google.com/web/ ).
Search for famous outback meteorite craters and visit them in Street View mode to experience a 360-degree ground panorama.
Find Wolfe Creek crater, Henbury crater and Gosses Bluff near Uluru. Then Parkes Observatory, Siding Spring Observatory, Mount Stromlo Observatory and Tidbinbilla Deep Space Tracking station.
You can also try some hard-to-reach and secretive sites. Some countries hide theirs from Google.
Have a look for Pine Gap, Woomera, ANSTO in Lucas Heights, and Casey Station in Antarctica.
Can you see Scott-Amundsen Base at the South Pole? Where did it go?
Try this:
Have some astronaut docking practice of your spacecraft with the International Space Station (ISS) in low Earth orbit, using the very realistic SpaceX simulator.
Try to impress the crew with your flying skills.
It takes a steady hand, a sure eye, and it’s not easy.
The View from the Backyard with your instrument – your eyes
The View from the Backyard with your instrument – your eyes
Try this:
Your eye has two types of light sensitive receptors; cones and rods.
The cones allow you to see colours and details quickly in bright light and are useful during the day.
At night, the rods come into play slowly for seeing faint light but without seeing colour.
Move from a bright room into a very dark room and you won’t see anything for a few minutes until your rods kick in.
Look at objects of different colours. Do you notice you can’t see the colour?
As you sit in darkness, your eyes “dark adapt” over 15 minutes before you can see the faintest of objects.
If you then read something under a white light, such as on your phone or TV, you lose this night vision.
Put a pirate’s patch on one eye and wait to become dark adapted.
Walk into a bright room then back into the dark room.
Your uncovered eye will be blinded initially, but if you remove the eyepatch your other eye will immediately be able to see.
Pirates didn’t all have bad eyesight, but rather knew this trick for going safely between a deck in daylight and the darkness below-deck.
