This Landsat 7 image of Guinea-Bissau, a small country in West Africa, shows the complex patterns of the country's shallow coastal waters, where silt carried by the Geba and other rivers washes out into the Atlantic Ocean. This is a false-color composite image made using infrared, red and blue wavelengths to bring out details in the silt was taken using Landsat 7's Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) sensor on Jan. 12, 2000.

1/11/2001: The so-called Richat Structure is a geological formation in the Maur Adrar Desert in the African country of Mauritania. Although it resembles an impact crater, the Richat Structure formed when a volcanic dome hardened and gradually eroded, exposing the onion-like layers of rock. The Richat Structure can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 203 Row 45, center: 21.68, -11.94.

August 14th, 2002: Description: 142 million years ago, an asteroid or comet slammed into what is now the Missionary Plains in Australia’s Northern Territory, forming a crater 24 kilometers in diameter and 5 kilometers deep. Today, like a bull’s eye, the circular ring of hills that defines Gosses Bluff stands as a stark reminder of the event.

Technical information poster about the Landsat 7 system from General Electric and Hughes. The top shows a satellite image of Los Angeles from Landsat 5 TM dated April 1, 1992, alongside a 3D rendering of the golden Landsat 7 satellite. Key features are listed including Titan II launch, 96% space segment availability, upgraded spacecraft capabilities, Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), and high-resolution multispectral stereo imaging. The bottom section displays four comparison images showing ETM+ data continuity versus HRMSI enhancements at different resolutions (30m, 15m, 10m, and 5m), demonstrating improved image quality and detail from simulated data based on a January 11, 1992 high-resolution color aerial photograph.
