This composite image uses a number of swaths of the Earth’s surface taken on January 4, 2012. Suomi NPP is NASA’s next Earth-observing research satellite. It is the first of a new generation of satellites that will observe many facets of our changing Earth.

  2. Image description: Located 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagitta, the Necklace Nebula is the glowing remains of an ordinary star. It consists of a bright ring 12 trillion miles wide and is dotted with dense, bright knots of gas that resemble diamonds in a necklace. The Hubble telescope captured this image.
