Topic Reading-Vol.1817-4/2/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,

NASA just made thousands of aerial images of Africa available to the public

While the US administration seems to have become stingier and more reluctant to pay attention or money to global issues, such as peace, environment or refugees than ever, one of the government agencies has shown a global-scale generosity. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, is an independent government agency of the U.S. responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. Recently, the famous and respected agency has released an online library that features images, videos and audio from all over Earth. Anyone in the world can now have not only full access to this resource of 14,000 items but also download any of them for their own use. You can enjoy very different view of famous things and places, such as pyramids, dunes, rivers and mountains in Africa.

Enjoy checking some of those spectacular images and thank NASA for their generosity.
