Since yesterday the OnEarth server of Jet Propulsion Laboratory is not working and the Daily Aqua and Terra satellite photos are not available. Hopefully all technical problems get solved and the archive will be online soon.

However latest level 2 images are still published at http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/realtime/

Update:The server is now working again and even the archive is not lost. I have to say thanks to Lucian Plesea, who drives this project.

Daily satellite pictures are not only useful, they show the impact of the weather on a bigger scale. With 250m per pixel resolution changes in land use, fires in amazon rainforest, huricanes and typhoon and ice shelfs are visible. With an interactive map interface climate changes become observable.

The project needs support: harddisks, time, money and publicity are helpful to ensure its continuation.

Here you can see everyday the earth and what has been captured by Daily Terra and prepared the day before:
