NASA often holds events over several days to highlight the contributions of satellite data to understanding the Earth system.
Although many in the space community associate Earth Day and the public’s greater appreciation of the fragility of our planet to the images sent back by the Apollo 8 crew in December 1968, the Earth Day website makes no mention of the space program as a catalyst, but rather a January 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA.
