Some of these instruments are sensitive to the visual range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other instruments record other wavelengths such as ultraviolet and infrared. Colors are assigned to portions of data to make images that portray our Earth with visual imagery. Details of the Earth from above show forest fires, floods, hurricanes, parks, cloud formations, the great cities of the world, sleepy backwaters, reefs, oceans, glaciers, snow capped mountains, archaeological sites, and transportation highways. Beth Alesse is a graphic artist, editor, and author. She curates image collections to present in books, some of which she has written, and in media. She is well suited for this with degrees in both art and education and backgrounds in graphic arts, linguistics, and visual and audio digital media.
