Holiday Calendar: Circle of Power - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured on MSNBC Photo Blog

Will future archaeologists assume this circular structure was some sort of 21st-century Stonehenge? They wouldn't be completely wrong if they did: This is Spain's Gemasolar power-generating array, as seen in a satellite image from the GeoEye commercial Earth-imaging venture.


Like Stonehenge, the array is laid out geometrically to track the position of the sun. But Gemasolar isn't meant to mark the year's astronomical milestones. Instead, it will concentrate sunlight to provide power for 25,000 homes around the city of Seville...


A picture taken by the GeoEye-1 satellte on Nov. 4, 2010, shows the Gemasolar power-generating array in Seville, Spain. At the center of the array is a 40-story-high concrete tower, ringed by 2,650 mirrors. The mirrors focus sunlight on the tower, which stores the heat and converts it to energy.

Satellite Images of North Korea Give a Rare Glimpse of Life Under Kim Jong-il - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery

In the wake of the death of Kim Jong-il and uncertainty over what Kim Jong-un's regime will resemble, satellites have been taking unrestricted snapshots of the secretive communist state from space. This image was taken by GeoEye's GeoEye-1 satellite on October 9, 2010 the day before Pyongyang staged a parade commemorating 65 years of state rule. (Picture: GeoEye)

GeoEye 2012 Calendar Images - Gemasolar Power Plant, Seville, Spain

The solar array in Seville, Spain looks a bit like a giant human eye from space. On closer examination, the center of the eye features a concrete solar tower that stands forty stories high. It is ringed by 2,650 mirrors that blast scorching rays of sunlight to the tower, which stores the heat and converts it to energy. When the plant is completed in 2013, it will provide enough energy to fuel the city of Seville. (GeoEye High Resolution Imagery)

Olympics Under Construction - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured on MSNBC

What a difference two years can make, especially when you're getting ready for the world's biggest sporting event: This before-and-after slideshow features satellite imagery of London's Olympic Park, the central site for the 2012 Games.


We're presenting the scene as two separate pictures, showing the north and south side of Olympic Park. In each picture, the view on the left was captured by the GeoEye-1 satellite on Sept. 21, 2009, from a height of 425 miles (684 kilometers). The same satellite snapped a picture of the same place on Aug. 3, 2011, and that's what you see on the right side of the screen... (GeoEye High Resolution Imagery)

Holiday Calendar: Mystery in the Gobi Desert - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured on MSNBC Photoblog

What are those strange white patterns in China's Gobi Desert? For weeks, experts have puzzled over the crazy lines that show up in satellite images.


Some of the theories have taken wild turns: Maybe they're messages directed at Earth-observing extraterrestrials, or part of a UFO development program, or the remains of ancient cities. But the leading theory is that these patterns serve a variety of purposes for the Chinese military, including calibrating satellite imaging systems and testing radar avoidance techniques. There have also been claims that these are "fractal antennas" to shield underground weapons facilities from ground-penetrating radar.


This particular crazy-quilt pattern was picked up on July 27 from an altitude of 423 miles by the IKONOS satellite, one of the spacecraft in a commercial Earth-imaging constellation operated by GeoEye. The picture is today's offering from the Cosmic Log Space Advent Calendar, which features views of Earth from space every day until Christmas...


An image captured by GeoEye's IKONOS commercial satellite shows a weird pattern of white lines in China's Gobi Desert on July 27.

Holiday Calendar: Hooray for Hollywood - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured on MSNBC PhotoBlog

In honor of this year's Golden Globe nominees, here's a picture of the landmark Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, as seen by the GeoEye-1 satellite from a height of 425 miles (684 kilometers).


The sign, which spells out the name of the cinema world's most famous locale in 45-foot-high (14-meter-high) letters, was originally created as an advertisement in 1923 and is now protected and promoted by the Hollywood Sign Trust.


Some folks used to say that China's Great Wall was the only human-made landmark visible from outer space, but even if that was ever true, the rise of high-resolution satellite imagery has made that claim as obsolete as the silent movies. Come to think of it, far more obsolete: After all, the film with the most Golden Globe nominations this year is a new-wave silent movie titled "The Artist."...

Holiday Calendar: Beauty of the Inland Sea - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured on MSNBC Photo Blog

Khor al-Adaid, also known as the Inland Sea, rates as one of the Arabian Peninsula's natural treasures, and it's easy to understand why when you take a look at GeoEye's satellite picture of the scene.


The blue-green water and white sediments combine to create a blossoming flower (or is that a leafy tree?), surrounded by the Arabian desert's swirling sand dunes. Qatar has placed the 9-mile-wide (15-kilometer-wide) tidal lake on the tentative list for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site...


(The blue water and patterns of sediment in Khor al-Adaid, or Inland Sea, create a lovely effect when viewed from space by the GeoEye-1 satellite.)

HeART of the Nation, Auckland, New Zealand - New GeoEye Case Study Showcased

The Auckland Council worked in partnership with GeoEye to gather satellite images of the World's Most Friendly Welcome from a small country that was BIG on welcoming the world to their shores. This project is part of a larger program that began 18 months prior to the Rugby World Cup 2011 when the Council engaged a local beautification charitable trust to develop the HeART of the Nation program. The program created a series of 22, huge word installations on farmland close to Auckland's main airport. The idea came from a need to show off to the world the creative talents of South Auckland where a large Maori and Polynesian population exist. These mega-size welcome words were placed directly under Auckland's international and domestic flight paths to greet all 20 nations competing in the Rugby World Cup 2011 in their own language...

Pearl Harbor from Above, 1941-2011 - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured in MSNBC Photoblog

A satellite picture of Pearl Harbor, acquired by the GeoEye-1 satellite on Sept. 24, shows the USS Missouri docked at Battleship Row as a museum ship, with its bow pointing toward the USS Arizona memorial at lower right. The wreck of the Arizona can be seen below the white memorial, barely visible beneath the water's surface.


Seventy years after a "date which will live in infamy," this satellite image of Pearl Harbor shows the symbols of a war's beginning and end.


The symbol of the end is more evident: The USS Missouri sits at its dock at Ford Island in the Hawaiian harbor, serving as a museum ship. In 1945, the "Mighty Mo" was the stage for the formal Japanese surrender at the end of World War II. After almost a half-century of service, the battleship was decommissioned for good in 1992 and took its place on Pearl Harbor's Battleship Row in 1998...

Lost Cities Found Beneath Sands of Sahara by Satellites - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured in Article

Satellite images have revealed the ruins of a long-lost civilisation which existed in what is now the Sahara desert in Roman times and before. Archaeologists hope that the toppling of Libyan dictator Colonel Gadaffi, who has controlled access to the region in modern times, will permit the secrets of the lost cities beneath the sands to be unravelled properly at last...


The fall of Gaddafi has opened the way for archaeologists to explore the country's pre-Islamic heritage, so long ignored under his regime ... The Libyan antiquities department, badly under-resourced under Gaddafi, is closely involved in the project. Funding for the research has come from the European Research Council - who awarded Professor Mattingly an ERC Advanced Grant of nearly 2.5m euros - the Leverhulme Trust, the Society for Libyan Studies and the GeoEye Foundation.
