It's more than an fascinating idea though. I think It's an incredible engineering and science feat of humankind. Managing and steering a Drone that's 140 million miles away and potential can explore the Mars planet for its glory, gloom and doom. Lots of lessons to be learned here in the meantime, that can be translated today to our Planets' glory, gloom or doom.
Living on an island we see constantly what the ocean can do to a shoreline. We see how the sand shifts every year and beaches are lost. Thanks for sharing Google Earth Timelapse. It is really shows how the land we live on has changed.
So many things happening this week. Thank you for the summary. Earth Day is definitely something I will follow closely.
That Google Earth Timelapse is really cool. I was glad to see that where I grew up there is no noticeable deforestation. There are pretty strict rules. The village has grown a bit, but it's more that old houses and farms have been replaced rather than it expanding. I just checked on the area along the river Aare in Rupperswil/Auenstein where the re-naturized the river (no idea if that's the correct word in English). That's pretty interesting to see. Thank you.
Thanks for the Google Earth Timelapse links. It is a fascinating (and very sobering) tool to investigate how our planet is responding to use and abuse by homo sapiens over the last 36 years.
I thought so too. I first focussed on the shrinking glaciers but then looked at deforestation and growing cities. There are many places to 'explore,' for instance, the growth of Lagos, Nigeria, or the palm islands in Dubai.
A great collage of information in this issue! Thanks to the link you provided I saw history made by NASA & Ingenuity helicopter’s first flight on Mars! Thank you for that. I look forward to Earth Day & President Biden’s climate summit & using the Google Earth tool looks interesting, can’t wait to check it out. Glad The Philippines dodged a disaster but no doubt we will see more disasters this year due to climate change.
The Planet is a terrific source for all the important news & events. Happy to be a subscriber!
I'm up to watch Ingenuity (-:
Fascinating idea, flying on another planet!
The Perseverance Mars rover and Ingenuity . . .

I haven't looked yet at the Small Island Developing States, but I suppose there you can also see what an existential threat sea-level rise is for them
