Colourful swirls can be seen in the Adriatic Sea from space in this recent Copernicus Sentinel-3 image ️
Sediment washed out from rivers, and possible phytoplankton, is visible along the coast and further out to sea.

A wide field shot of Copernicus, and its mountain ranges, as well as annotated Apollo landing site locations (Apollo 12 & 14).
Probably one of the most frequently photographed regions of the moon here captured just past daybreak (on the moon) for the impact crater Copernicus. In addition to the craterlet chains between Copernicus and the crater Eratosthenes take note of how the outer rim of Copernicus (nearest the terminator, to the left) is defined by both deep shadow and half light.
Photographed on November 22, 2012 with a Celestron C6 and a Sony NEX-5N digital camera (ISO 200, 1/10 second, f/20 at an effective focal length of 3000mm -- prime focus + 2X barlow).

Following liftoff on 25 April 2016, the Copernicus Sentinel-1B satellite has been commissioned and handed over for mission operations. It joins its identical twin, Sentinel-1A, which has been systematically scanning Earth with its radar since October 2014. Orbiting 180° apart, the two satellites optimise coverage and data delivery for the Copernicus services that are making a step change in the way our environment is managed. More than 45 000 users have registered to access Sentinel data, under the free and open policy framework of Europe’s Copernicus environmental monitoring programme.
Both satellites carry a radar that images Earth’s surface through cloud and rain and regardless of whether it is day or night. These images are used for many applications, such as monitoring ice in the polar seas, tracking land subsidence, and for responding to disasters such as floods.
On 14 September, project manager Ramón Torres (left) who led the development team, handed over the satellite to the mission manager, Pierre Potin (right) in the presence of Volker Liebig, Senior Advisor to ESA’s Director General.

Sentinel-2A being installed on its payload launcher adapter, on 6 June 2015 at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
The second satellite in Europe’s Copernicus programme is set for launch from Europe’s Spaceport on 23 June 2015.
Sentinel-2 carries an innovative wide-swath, high-resolution multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands for a new perspective of our land and vegetation. The second in the two-satellite mission – Sentinel-2B – is being prepared for launch in 2016.

Earth put on a real show for us this weekend ☁️
Check out these stunning images from space!
These Von Karman vortices were captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite near the Canary Islands over the last couple of days ️
Our new Baby Copernicus, is fitting right in... He is learning very quickly when I get my camera, to sit still & be a good boy & realizes it doesn't take too much out of his playtime LOL...
Who Our baby is names after:
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) was a mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the sun was stationary in the center of the universe and the earth revolved around it. Disturbed by the failure of Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe to follow Aristotle's requirement for the uniform circular motion of all celestial bodies and determined to eliminate Ptolemy's equant, an imaginary point around which the bodies seemed to follow that requirement, Copernicus decided that he could achieve his goal only through a heliocentric model. He thereby created a concept of a universe in which the distances of the planets from the sun bore a direct relationship to the size of their orbits. At the time Copernicus's heliocentric idea was very controversial; nevertheless, it was the start of a change in the way the world was viewed, and Copernicus came to be seen as the initiator of the Scientific Revolution.
24-hours passed between these two images from space. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite captured Tropical Cyclone Ilsa early yesterday morning and today as it made landfall over western Australia.

Sentinel-3A satellite encapsulated within its Rockot fairing, on 9 February 2016, at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia.
Once safely in orbit and fully commissioned, this new satellite will begin its mission to map Earth’s oceans and land surfaces with its powerful optical and radar systems. The Sentinel-3 mission is set to play a key role in the world’s largest environmental monitoring programme – Copernicus.

Little Copernicus is learning rather quickly that his daddy lets him get away with some bad habits, & I didnt have the heart to scold him so there he lays on top of the Fridge, oh well He won't hurt anything up there... Just look at that sweet face... Too Cute..
One of the first images from Sentinel-3A’s Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) shows a long crack running through the ice shelf to the east of the centre part of the Antarctic Peninsula. The crack is about 2 km wide, but widens to 4 km or more in some places. There are also finer cracks and structures visible in the ice shelf. Structure in the cloud, cloud shadows and details of the land emerging from the ice can also be seen. The image was acquired on 3 March 2016 at 11:53 GMT with the instrument’s visible channel. As the SLSTR scans Earth’s surface, it senses visible light and infrared light (heat) in a number of different spectral channels. The thermal infrared channels will soon be working when the instrument has finished outgassing water vapour. This is necessary because the infrared channels must be cooled to operate properly. The SLSTR will measure global sea- and land-surface temperatures every day to an accuracy of better than 0.3 K.

This recent S3 image shows the world's largest iceberg, A23a, from space.
Captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite, the iceberg has recently grounded close to the island of South Georgia in the Southern Ocean.
