Earth Animations for Education From NASA
Overview A person must have seen the beautiful images of Earth from space taken by NASA astronauts and satellites. By viewing a series of images one after another like frames of a movie, the person can watch changes to the Earth as they happened and can follow hurricanes moving towards land and observe ice caps contracting. The person can replay and study changes due to weather, natural events, and human activities. NASA has assembled dozens of such animations, all free. This paper describes how to write Java software that uses the OpenGL graphics interface to display these images on a 3D globe.
