What am I looking at?
The Explanation Page will give a guided tour.
This website uses "Blue Marble: the next generation" images from NASA, to portray the changing seasons of the planet. Every month a different earth map is displayed, which shows the changing colors of the vegetation and changes in ice coverage globally.

A great thanks goes to all the programmers and volunteers around the globe whose work makes this page possible, especially Hari Nair of http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/, Hans Ecke and Michael Dear. All rights acknowledged. For musical inspiration I thank the Bergisch Stringquartett.
