- Description
- Cameras in space tell stories of life on our planet from a brand new perspective. We think of earth as a blue planet but satellite cameras reveal a kaleidoscope. The astonishing colours of the aurora are towering vertical streaks hundreds of kilometres high; phytoplankton blooms turn the ocean into works of art triggering a feeding frenzy; and for a few weeks a year China’s Yunnan province is carpeted in yellow as millions of rapeseed flowers bloom. This is our home, as we’ve never seen it before.
