  I HAVE ADDED THIS ADDENDUM TO UNIT-2-OCEAN DISCOVERY

  It would not be appropriate to go forward on this topic without mention of the passing of the most influential oceanographer ever.    

  Walter Monk passed away last year at the age of 101 here in San Diego.   His legacy is embedded in just about everything we know about the oceans.   Please take a moment to read about his long life of accomplishments.

  UNIT 2A:  A NEW VIEW OF THE PLANET

  I was not yet born when the first satellite went to space, that happened with the Soviet Sputnik craft in 1957.  But, pretty much, I guess you could say I  was born at the dawn of the satellite age. The “space age”. The age has been enlightening.   It is hard to adequately describe how these manned and unmanned observation platforms have improved my understanding of Earth and my abilities as a scientist and educator to do my job.  I am not alone.

  December 24th, 1968, orbiting the Moon, astronaut William Anders captured this shot from the Apollo 8 mission with a Hasselblad 500EL camera through the thick quartz window of the spacecraft,  considered by many to top the list of best photos ever taken, titled EARTHRISE. (70mm film,  250mm lens, 1/250th of a second at f/11, on Ektachrome film)

      Discussion between commander Frank Borman,  Bill Anders and Jim Lovell

  Anders: Oh my God! Look at that picture over there! There's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty. Borman: Hey, don't take that, it's not scheduled. (joking) Anders: (laughs) You got a color film, Jim?             Hand me that roll of color quick, would you... Lovell: Oh man, that's great!

  in Bill Anders words from Christmas Eve 1968.........

  “We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth.”,
