Login Earth, the app to play Geography from Space at the ESA Open Science 2.0

12 Novembre 2015/in Earth Observation, Education /da admincl

The new GEO-K app Login Earth was presented at the ESA – European Space Agency event Earth Observation Open Science 2.0.

Play Geography from Space!
Look how it works

Using spectacular images of our planet taken from Space, Login Earth is aiming to offer a new approach to physical and political geography by way of a game, starting from image acquisitions of ESA and NASA.

The Earth archive is full of wonderful images. What we ask you is to recognize them. You will need to practice hard though as, for example, some radar images aren’t recognizable straight away.

Login Earth is an educational game so, as you play, each exact answer given will provide you with some interesting facts about a particular geographic area.

Have a good trip and, if you manage to get to the end, the Earth will have fewer secrets for you!

The app is available for Android (ITA and ENG languages).
Download it at Google Play.
