At NASA, we explore lots of planets and there’s a lot to love: the mountains on Mars, the rings of Saturn, the 99.77-degree axial tilt of Uranus. But how about a little something for the home team? It’s Earth Day. Let’s explore our home planet, too.

Scientists from NASA and around the world have now discovered more than 1,800 planets beyond our solar system. But so far, we haven't found any that match the complexity of Earth. And it is this complexity that challenges Earth scientists as they seek to figure out how the whole planet works as a system.

Earth has oceans, forests, deserts, ice sheets, rain, snow, an atmosphere. And we have life. These are some of the things that NASA’s 20 Earth-orbiting missions observe and measure in our quest to build the most complete understanding possible of our dynamic planet.

And while the view from space can be awe-inspiring, our satellites do not see the world the way you do, what makes your corner of Earth special – what makes it home.
