The Earth Observatory web site at NASA (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/)
frequently uses a lot of metric, but it is frequently translated into US
Customary.  So I was surprised to see metric only on the page at
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/images.php3?img_id=4826.
The image discussed was acquired with the Japanese-built ASTER instrument,
and it's possible the caption was written in Japan.  But actually I think
it was probably written at JPL by a US ASTER Science Team member.
