Satellites, robots and computers provide amazing images of our planet. From the data sent back to Earth, scientists can study weather fronts, track hurricanes and observe events unfolding on our planet's surface.
Twenty-one high resolution images from NASA?s on-line resources were mounted and framed for this exhibit which was on view at the State Museum in 2007. The idea is how do we look back at Earth from space?? says Curator of Science and Technology Tom Falvey who developed the exhibit for the State Museum. Looking In: Earth from Space examines our home planet with new eyes. For example, the exhibit demonstrates how science studies river systems and volcanoes, land use, forest health and the effects of deforestation by viewing these natural features from space, says Falvey.
Falvey planned the exhibit to stimulate an appreciation of the beauty and rarity of our planet. Looking In: Earth from Space presents a unique perspective of our planet. Enhanced appreciation of our home world will encourage us to redouble our efforts to take care of it.

Join with thousands of South Carolinians as they clear the beaches, rivers, lakes, marshes and swamps of aquatic debris. The cleanup, organized by the SC Sea Grant Consortium and the SC Dept of Natural Resources takes place in conjunction with the International Coastal Cleanup coordinated by The Ocean Conservancy. Once the Sweep is over, The Ocean Conservancy tallies all the debris data. This data helps us to learn the sources of the litter so we can stop pollution before it starts.
Join with thousands of volunteers worldwide in this annual coastal and river clean-up. Results of the sweep will be sent to the Center for Marine Conservation to be included with data from all fifty states and many foreign countries that will be participating in the 27th Annual International Coastal Clean-up day. We will be working out of canoes in Biggin Creek and the old canal and will clean along the banks of other areas. Bring a water bottle, dip net, gloves and a picnic lunch to enjoy in the park after the Sweep!
