Celebrate GIS Day 2025

Explore how NASA uses geospatial science and technology to provide a multidimensional view of our complex and beautiful planet.

In celebration of GIS Day, teams across NASA used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) resources to create the image collage below showcasing the diversity of Earth’s landscapes, human dimensions, and scientific phenomena. These images were captured by instruments aboard NASA's fleet of Earth-observing satellites, each telling a story about our ever-changing planet.
