A collaboration with geographer and curator Andrew Johnston at the Smithsonian\u2019s National Air and Space Museum\u2019s (NASM) Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, the traveling exhibit won a 2007 U.S. Geological Survey communications award for science content.\u00a0 Currently they are on exhibit at the Barnes County Historical Society\u2019s Museum.<\/p>\n<p>The poster exhibit presents large color reproductions of images captured by high-tech satellites constantly circling the globe, recording conditions and events that are nearly impossible to document on the planet\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p>Rare views of events such as dust storms, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes are accompanied by text that explains how satellite imagery is gathered and used to explore the Earth. Documenting environmental cycles, natural disasters, and man-made ecological effects, satellite images provide clues about the dynamic nature of our planet and offer rich opportunities to engage students in a wide range of science curricula including geography, environmental studies, ecology, oceanography, and meteorology. This relevant, fascinating, and thought-provoking presentation is complemented by award-winning online resources that include lesson plans for grades 5 through 8 and 9 through 12 tied to National Science Standards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valley City\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 The Valley City State University Planetarium, in partnership with the Barnes County Historical Society, has been presented with a set of 20 posters titled, \u201cEarth from Space,\u201d featuring images and text from the popular Smithsonian Museum exhibition of the same name.
