This Envisat acquisition showing Typhoon Kirogi passing beneath Japan is the latest of more than 480 satellite images so far available for viewing in ESA's new Earth Images Gallery.
The Gallery is a user-friendly showcase of spectacular images acquired by ESA Earth Observation satellites. The collection can be searched on a geographical basis, using a spinning globe to specify a continent of interest.
The site then displays the distribution of available images. Select one to view and its regional location is also shown. Alternatively, the images can be searched by keyword, or based on the mission that acquired them: either the ERS spacecraft, Envisat or Proba. Some non-ESA 'Third Party Mission' images are also planned to be included in future.
