About
Looking @ Earth:
The Looking at Earth gallery first opened to the public May 8, 1986 in
the National Air and Space Museum on the Mall in Washington, D.C. It documents
the changing ways that we have viewed our planet from above. This online
version is part of an ongoing effort by the NASM web site to create a
"virtual" representation of each of the physical galleries of
the museum. Each completed online gallery brings as much information as
possible from the the physical gallery to the internet visitor. Prints
and digital copies of the images presented in Looking @ Earth online are
not available to the public due to copyright permissions.
Using the Online Gallery:
Looking @ Earth online contains JavaScripts and frames that have been
optimized for Netscape 4.x/6 or Internet Explorer 5/6. To view the caption
of a thumbnail image with no associated text, place the mouse over the
thumbnail, and the caption text will be visible in the yellow box in the
upper right hand corner of the window. Clicking on a thumbnail image will
display a larger version of the image. Visitors using other browsers may
want to go to the non-frames version of this gallery
Online Gallery Credits:
The online version of the "Looking at Earth" exhibition has been sponsored
in part by a generous donation from American Honda Motor Company.
