EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning aerial view of Manhattan, New York in the 1980s. Taken by the Landsat satellite at a spatial resolution of 30m, this image offers an extraordinary glimpse into the heart of one of the world's most iconic cities. The Landsat program, initiated in the early 1970s and spanning until late 1999, aimed to study Earth's surface using various spectral bands ranging from visible to infra-red. The technological advancements achieved by Landsat are evident in this photograph. With its ability to capture images with panchromatic resolution as fine as 15m, Landsat 7 revolutionized satellite photography during its time. This particular image perfectly captures the vibrant colors and intricate details that define Manhattan Island. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be captivated by the bustling streets below and towering skyscrapers that have come to symbolize New York City. The photo serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our planet. Preserved within Oxford Science Archive's collection, this print allows us to reflect on both the technological achievements made during the latter half of the twentieth century and our fascination with exploring space from afar. It serves as a reminder that even from thousands of miles above Earth's surface, we can still appreciate its beauty and marvel at mankind's accomplishments.
