NASA has been photographing the exact same locations on earth every 16 days since 1972.
same mountains. same forests. same ice fields.
and the difference between then and now?
heartbreaking.
🧊 the ice
glacier national park had 150 glaciers in 1850. it has 26 today.
🌳 the forests
earth loses 10 million hectares of forest every single year. the amazon is 5 percentage points away from permanent, irreversible collapse.
🌊 the oceans
the aral sea lost 90% of its water. there are fishing boats rusting in desert where ocean used to be. actual boats. actual desert.
🏙️ the cities
cities cover just 3% of earth's land. but consume 75% of all global energy. and from space — you can watch them growing every year.
but here's what nobody talks about —
the same satellites also record recovery. reforestation taking hold. reefs healing. forests returning.
the cameras catch everything. damage and hope.
the data is in. the images are undeniable. the only question left is what we do next.
