Satellite remote-sensing technology allows us to capture images of Earth from space, offering an exciting opportunity to see America in new ways. The 12 shots in this calendar, taken from EOSAT and SPOT Image, use imagery created from digital data to show us rivers, mountains, shores and cities in real and "false" colors. These fascinating photographs are used by government, industry, mapmakers and meteorologists to derive a wealth of information relating to such subjects as geology, global warming and population trends. Now you can enjoy the unusual beauty of "America From Space".
