It’s so hard to describe the feeling when you see objects in the night sky. Wow! is one of the most used of exclamations. Sometimes I get so excited that I almost can’t contain myself but I have always known it’s much more than just ‘wow’

Since Slooh launched Earth Sciences, I’ve had to search for a new exclamation.

All this while, I have been studying night sky objects, yet never thought that one day I would be studying satellite images of Earth. How could I understand the universe before understanding my own planet?

Slooh has come to the rescue! Earth Science quests leave me feeling humbled. I approach them as if I’m about to touch on something fragile. I don’t go ‘wow’ or jump up and down when I see my Terra images. Earth is serious stuff. Instead, a kind of quiet peace comes over me. If everyone could look at our planet in this different way, we might realise how much it needs our protection.

Thanks Slooh for this incredible opportunity.
