These are pointers to some of the latest NASA satellite imagery, with commentary that usually includes metric units -- frequently only metric units.
I forward this along because I think many of you will find the content interesting, but also because it's a good place to see NASA using metric units with the public. I've written them on the odd occasion when only non-SI was used; maybe some of you can join me in that.
