Chernobyl new shelter

The New Safe Confinement (NSC or New Shelter) is a structure built to confine the remains of the number 4 reactor unit at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, in Ukraine, which was destroyed during the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The structure also encloses the temporary Shelter Structure (sarcophagus) that was built around the reactor immediately after the disaster. The New Safe Confinement is designed to prevent the release of radioactive contaminants from exiting the shelter, protect the reactor from external influence, facilitate the disassembly and decommissioning of the reactor, and prevent water intrusion. The New Safe Confinement is a megaproject that is part of the Shelter Implementation Plan and supported by the Chernobyl Shelter Fund. It was designed with the primary goal of confining the radioactive remains of reactor 4 for the next 100 years. #chernobyl #kyivoblast #kyiv #oblast #ukraine #new #safe #confinement #newshelter #structure #reactor #nuclear #power #plant #disaster #sarcophagus #radioactive #protect #megaproject #picoftheday #photooftheday #instagood #instadaily #igers #travel #viewfromabove #birdseyeview #satellite #satelliteimagery #vantagepoint

Dia D - Omaha, Normandia, França

Omaha Beach was one of five key targets in the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, during World War II. Today marks the 75th anniversary of this operation — now known as “D-Day" — which began the liberation of Nazi-occupied France. With its high cliffs, the 5-mile (8 km) stretch of Omaha Beach had heavier casualties than any of the other four targets -- Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword. /// Created by @benjaminrgrant, source imagery: @maxartechnologies

Vesúvio

Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located in Campania, Italy, about 5.6 miles (9 km) east of Naples. It is best known for its eruption in AD 79, which killed thousands and destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Stabiae. With an eruption as recent as 1944 and at least 3 million living nearby, Vesuvius is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. /// Created by @dailyoverview, source imagery: @maxartechnologies

Refinaria de Petróleo em Baton Rouge, Louisiana

A residential neighborhood sits adjacent to a large oil refinery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Owned by ExxonMobil, this facility is the fourth largest of its kind in the United States and the 12th largest in the world, with an input capacity of more than 502,000 barrels per day. This refinery is one of many industrial plants along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, an 85-mile stretch known as "Cancer Alley" because of the abundance of cancer cases that have occurred there. /// Created by @eli_anderson_, source imagery: @nearmap

Sydney

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and one of Australia’s largest cities. It is best known for its harbor front Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive architectural design, and famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. How about some other, lesser known, facts about Sydney. There are more than 100 beaches in the Sydney area, ranging from a few feet to several miles long. The Australia Day Regatta is the oldest continuously-conducted annual sailing regatta in the world, first held in 1837. The top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge arch rises and falls about 7 inches due to changes in temperature. #sydney #australia #newsouthwales #wales #largest #city #urban #harbor #harbour #opera #house #bridge #architecture #design #facts #beaches #regatta #sailing #boats #viewfromabove #birdseyeview #satellite #satelliteimagery #vantagepoint

Brasília

This Overview captures the urban plan of Brasilia. The city was founded on April 21, 1960, in order to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central location within Brazil. The design — resembling an airplane from above — was developed by Lúcio Costa and prominently features the modernist buildings of the celebrated architect Oscar Niemeyer at its center. /// Created by @benjaminrgrant, source imagery: @digitalglobe

Elephant Foot Glacier

The Elephant Foot Glacier 🐘❄ in northeastern Greenland 🇬🇱 is a perfect example of a Piedmont Glacier. This type of glacier occur when steep valley glaciers spill into flat plains (here a fjord) where they spread out into bulb-like lobes or elephant foot. 📷 Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel-2A data (August 2016) #elephantfootglacier #elephantfoot #elephant #foot #glacier #greenland #piedmont #piedmontglacier #glaciology #satelliteimage #sentinel2 #copernicus #aerial #earth #earthfromspace #space #art #spaceart #instaspace

Eagle Ford Shale Play

Eagle Ford Shale In nighttime satellite imagery, the light from the Eagle Ford shale play competes with the nearby cities of San Antonio and Austin. The electric glow of drilling equipment, worker camps, and other gas and oil infrastructure combine with flickering gas flares to create an unmistakable arc of light across southern Texas. (Play is a term used by petroleum geologists to describe a geological formation that has been targeted for exploration because it likely contains oil or gas.) On July 15, 2012, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this nighttime view of Eagle Ford. The image was acquired by the VIIRS day-night band, which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as city lights, auroras, wildfires, and reflected moonlight. The Eagle Ford Shale, which is about 600 kilometers (400 miles) long and 80 kilometers (50 miles) wide, is a source of both oil and gas. Most of the oil-producing wells are located on the northern part of the play; the gas-producing wells are located along its southern edge.
