NASA Earth Observations (NEO)
The NEO website was decommissioned in September 2026.
After over 20 years of continuous delivery of global NASA data imagery, NASA Earth Observations (NEO) said goodbye in September 2026.
In the absence of NEO, there are a few online sources that you might explore as NEO-alternatives; they might even be an improvement depending on your particular use case. (There are many more tools you might peruse; please visit the Earthdata data tool matrix).
- Earth Observatory Global Maps - Time series animations of selected NASA global datasets.
- NASA Worldview – Thousands of global data layers in an easy-to-use interface, plus it includes the ability to adjust color palettes, generate animations and comparisons, and so much more.
- NASA Giovanni and NASA AppEEARS – Browse, visualize, composite, and analyze NASA science data including the ability to geospatially subset datasets. Particularly useful for users who want to analyze data.
For users of the NEO WMS, NASA’s Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) provides several OGC service APIs for thousands of NASA data layers.
Other NEO-hosted resources can also be found elsewhere:
Thank you for using NEO.
