I previously posted an NASA infographic celebrating its 2012 accomplishments.  The NASA Goddard Flight Center decided that that wasn't enough, and they've posted their own collection of photos and videos. Unfortunately they can't be embedded as a set, but a link to the Flickr album can be found by clicking here.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Goddard Center in Greenbelt, MD this year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Landsat system.  My coverage can be found here.  

NASA Landsat 40th Anniversary Photos

On July 23rd, I traveled to DC to attend a NASA event celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Landsat program. The Landsat satellites provide valuable images of the planet for analysis of forests, natural disasters, etc. I joined other NASA twitter followers via the #NASASocial program at the Newseum (Washington, DC) and Goddard Flight Center (Greenbelt, MD).

Check out my coverage of the event below. Follow me on Twitter at @ShareefJackson or search the hashtags #NASASocial and #Landsat for tweets from other attendees.
