“Seeing Our Planet Anew: Fifty Years of Landsat” was selected for the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) 2023 John I. Davidson President's Award for Practical Papers.

Landsat 9 captured a rare snowfall in China’s Taklimakan Desert on January 18, 2023. This image uses the shortwave infrared, near infrared, and red bands (B 6|5|4) to highlight the stark contrast between the desert sand and the snow-covered dunes. The sand appears reddish, while the snow is blue.

Landsat 2’s first light image captured Drayton Valley in Alberta, Canada on January 24, 1975. The discovery of the Pembina oil field in 1953 contributed to explosive growth in the sparsely populated area, with an increase from 75 individuals to 2,000. The boxed pattern seen here comes from the infrastructure for the oil and gas industry.

This natural color Landsat 8 image of the Sacramento Valley area shows the impacts of the relentless rains that impacted the area during the end of December and into the New Year. Turbid river water, saturated fields, and rising reservoirs can be seen near Stockton and Sacramento.

In the right wintry conditions, an ice bridge forms between the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait. Theoretically, this is the only place where you can walk from Russia to the United States (and vice versa), however travel between one Diomede to the other is strictly forbidden.  

Nine consecutive rainstorms have poured on California since December 26, 2022, after three years of intensive drought.

Last year was monumental for the program, including celebrating its 50-year anniversary, transitioning a fully operational Landsat 9 to the USGS team, and extending the Landsat 7 science mission. In addition to these major events, we have included an interactive map showcasing events Landsat satellites captured this year from around the world.
