Washington, D.C.-  The “Earth as Art” Exhibition at Library of Congress Opens May 31 where it will remain on view for a year, before the 40 award-winning Landsat satellite images become a part of the permanent collection of the Library’s Geography and Map Division (G&M).  In 2006, G&M hosted an earlier “Earth as Art” exhibit and those images also became a part of the Library’s permanent collection. When Earth is viewed from space, cloud formations, coastlines, mountain ranges, islands, deltas, glaciers and rivers take on patterns resembling abstract art — with striking textures and brilliant colors.
