What is Worldview Snapshots?

Worldview Snapshots is a lightweight tool for creating image snapshots from a selection of popular NASA satellite imagery layers. You can preview and download imagery in different band combinations and add overlays on the imagery of active fire detections, coastlines, borders and roads.

Worldview Snapshots offers satellite imagery from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite provided by the Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS). Near real-time imagery through the Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EO (LANCE) is available approximately 3 hours after satellite observation.

Try out Worldview if you would like to use a fully featured, interactive interface for browsing all of the full-resolution satellite imagery provided by GIBS.

This tool is a replacement for the Rapid Response Subsets.
