On-going discovery about how our planet works is central to the research of both the Smithsonian and NASA. Data collected from instruments in space orbiting Earth and on the ground helps scientists, policy makers, and communities around the world understand and respond to climate change and other human activities that are reshaping our planet.

How do scientists collect and interpret data from a variety of sources, giving us the big picture of what we know about our home planet? We invite you to find out by exploring high-resolution data visualizations, investigating three interactive experiences, and watching short, narrated videos displayed on NASA’s hyperwall.
