 nt Date End: 2009-11-29\n\nMuseum of History and Art\, Ontario Presents Sm
 ithsonian Poster Exhibit Looking at Satellite Imagery in the Carlson Galle
 ry The 20-poster set features beautifully detailed satellite images of the
  planet&mdash\;from the swirling arms of a massive hurricane and the grid-
 like pattern of Kansas farmland to the triangular shadows cast by the Grea
 t Pyramids and the sinuous channels entering the Arctic Ocean. Earth from 
 Space illustrates how satellite imagery is gathered and used to expand man
 kind's understanding of life on Earth. It also explores the remote-sensing
  technology used to gather the images and describes the individual satelli
 tes whose images are on display. &ldquo\;The Smithsonian is proud to be ab
 le to share illuminating scholarship from the National Air and Space Museu
 m in a format that allows for extraordinarily widespread distribution\,&rd
 quo\; said Anna Cohn\, SITES director. 'Earth from Space inspires dreams a
 nd discovery\, and while the photographs were taken from far away\, they c
 an launch learning opportunities about our lives here on earth.&rdquo\; Th
 e poster exhibition was born of the popular and award-winning museum exhib
 ition of the same title that premiered November 2006 at the National Air a
 nd Space Museum. In 2007\, Earth from Space won a U.S. Geological Survey c
 ommunications award for science content. The images provide clues about th
 e nature of our planet and offer teachers opportunities to engage students
  in a broad array of science topics\, including geography\, environmental 
 studies\, ecology\, oceanography and meteorology. An educational companion
  Web site\, www.earthfromspace.si.edu\, contains an online version of the 
 exhibition\, and additional images and information. It also provides numer
 ous educational resources\, including lesson plans\, classroom activities\
 , Web site links and available publications. Earth from Space was develope
 d by the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies at the National Air and Sp
 ace Museum\, in collaboration with SITES. Andrew Johnston\, a geographer a
 t the center and author of &ldquo\;Earth from Space&rdquo\; (Firefly Books
 \, 2004)\, is the exhibition's curator. SITES has been sharing the wealth 
 of Smithsonian collections and research programs with millions of people o
 utside Washington\, D.C.\, for more than 50 years. SITES connects American
 s to their shared cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions ab
 out art\, science and history\, which are shown wherever people live\, wor
 k and play. Exhibition descriptions and tour schedules are available at ww
