Earth Day 2019 Live Shots

Celebrate Earth Day With NASA

Use the hashtag #PictureEarth and share the beauty of Earth

When you think of NASA you might be picturing astronauts, images of Jupiter and far-away galaxies, basically everything beyond our planet. But did you know that one of NASA’s biggest fields of study is our home, Earth?

Of all the planets that NASA studies, none have matched the complexity of Earth. For 50 years, NASA has been sharing images of Earth that have changed our views of the planet. From the deep blue oceans to the many colors of the aurora and Earth’s vast landscapes.

This Earth Day, NASA invites you to celebrate the planet we call home with a world-wide #PictureEarth social media event. Take a photo of the nature around you and share it on your social media accounts using the hashtag #PictureEarth.

Join NASA scientists on 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 19 to find out how your viewers can join the fun and learn more about our interesting/unique/strange home.

NASA has a fleet of satellites that are regularly collecting data to help us better understand and admire this little blue strange and mysterious planet.
