Earth from Space – Arc de Triomphe, Paris By Marc Boucher Status Report May 13, 2022  LinkedInFacebookTwitter Filed under Arc de Triomphe, Earth, Earth from Space, European Space Agency, Paris Arc de Triomphe, Paris. ESA This striking, high-resolution image of the Arc de Triomphe, in Paris, was captured by Planet SkySat – a fleet of satellites that have just joined ESA’s Third Party Mission Programme in April 2022. The Arc de Triomphe, or in full Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, is an iconic symbol of France and one of the world’s best-known commemorative monuments. The triumphal arch was commissioned by Napoleon I in 1806 to celebrate the military achievements of the French armies. Construction of the arch began the following year, on 15 August (Napoleon’s birthday). The arch stands at the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, the meeting point of 12 grand avenues which form a star (or étoile), which is why it is also referred to as the Arch of Triumph of the Star. The arch is 50 m high and 45 m wide. The names of all French victories and generals are inscribed on the arch’s inner and outer surfaces, while the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I lies beneath its vault. The tomb’s flame is rekindled every evening as a symbol of the enduring nature of the commemoration and respect shown to those who have fallen in the name of France. The Arc de Triomphe’s location at the Place Charles de Gaulle places it at the heart of the capital and the western terminus of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées (visible in the bottom-right of the image). Often referred to as the ‘most beautiful avenue in the world’, the Champs-Élysées is known for its theatres, cafés and luxury shops, as the finish of the Tour de France cycling race, as well as for its annual Bastille Day military parade.   This image, captured on 9 April 2022, was provided by Planet SkySat – a fleet of 21 very high-resolution satellites capable of collecting images multiple times during the day. SkySat’s satellite imagery, with 50 cm spatial resolution, is high enough to focus on areas of great interest, identifying objects such as vehicles and shipping containers. SkySat data, along with PlanetScope (both owned and operated by Planet Labs), serve numerous commercial and governmental applications. These data are now available through ESA’s Third Party Mission programme – enabling researchers, scientists and companies from around the world the ability to access Planet’s high-frequency, high-resolution satellite data for non-commercial use. Within this programme, Planet joins more than 50 other missions to add near-daily PlanetScope imagery, 50 cm SkySat imagery, and RapidEye archive data to this global network. Peggy Fischer, Mission Manager for ESA’s Third Party Missions, commented, “We are very pleased to welcome PlanetScope and SkySat to ESA’s Third Party Missions portfolio and to begin the distribution of the Planet data through the ESA Earthnet Programme. “The high-resolution and high-frequency imagery from these satellite constellations will provide an invaluable resource for the European R&D and applications community, greatly benefiting research and business opportunities across a wide range of sectors.” To find out more on how to apply to the Earthnet Programme and get started with Planet data, click here. – Download the full high-resolution image. https://spaceref.com/earth/earth-from-space-arc-de-triomphe-paris/

Apples and People +1 Este concepto abarca diferentes vertientes míticas y literarias: 1. El Mito Griego y el Undécimo Trabajo de Hércules Originalmente, las manzanas de oro fueron un regalo de bodas que la diosa de la Tierra, Gea, le hizo a Hera cuando esta se casó con Zeus. Hera quedó tan maravillada por su belleza y por el don de la inmortalidad que otorgaban, que decidió plantarlas en un jardín secreto en los confines del mundo. YouTube ·Historia y Mitología +2 Los custodios: El jardín era cuidado por las Hespérides (las ninfas del atardecer, hijas del titán Atlas) y protegido por Ladón, un temible dragón de cien cabezas que nunca dormía. La misión de Hércules: El rey Euristeo le ordenó a Hércules, como su undécimo trabajo, robar tres de estas manzanas doradas. Para lograrlo, el héroe tuvo que engañar al mismísimo titán Atlas, sosteniendo el peso del cielo sobre sus hombros mientras el titán iba a buscar las frutas. YouTube ·Mira la Historia / Mitologia +1 2. El Mito de Atalanta e Hipómenes Las tres manzanas doradas también protagonizan otra famosa historia de amor y astucia. La veloz cazadora Atalanta había jurado que solo se casaría con el hombre que lograra ganarle en una carrera de velocidad; quienes perdían, eran ejecutados. El joven Hipómenes se enamoró de ella y pidió ayuda a la diosa Afrodita, quien le entregó tres manzanas de oro. Durante la competencia, cada vez que Atalanta estaba por adelantarlo, Hipómenes dejaba caer una manzana. Encantada por el brillo dorado de la fruta, Atalanta se detenía a recogerlas, lo que le permitió al joven ganar la carrera y su mano en matrimonio. OpenEdition Journals 3.

Here is the English translation of the text: "The Three Golden Apples" (or apples of gold) is a key reference in Greek mythology, primarily associated with the Garden of the Hesperides and the Twelve Labors of Hercules. This concept encompasses different mythical and literary versions: 1. The Greek Myth and the Eleventh Labor of Hercules Originally, the golden apples were a wedding gift that the Earth goddess, Gaia, gave to Hera when she married Zeus. Hera was so amazed by their beauty and the gift of immortality they granted that she decided to plant them in a secret garden at the edge of the world. The Guardians: The garden was tended by the Hesperides (the nymphs of the evening, daughters of the titan Atlas) and protected by Ladon, a fearsome hundred-headed dragon that never slept. Hercules' Mission: King Eurystheus ordered Hercules, as his eleventh labor, to steal three of these golden apples. To achieve this, the hero had to trick the titan Atlas himself, holding the weight of the sky on his shoulders while the titan went to fetch the fruit. 2. The Myth of Atalanta and Hippomenes The three golden apples also play a leading role in another famous story of love and cunning. The swift huntress Atalanta had sworn she would only marry the man who could beat her in a footrace; those who lost were executed. A young man named Hippomenes fell in love with her and prayed to the goddess Aphrodite for help. She gave him three golden apples. During the race, every time Atalanta was about to overtake him, Hippomenes dropped an apple. Charmed by the golden glitter of the fruit, Atalanta stopped to pick them up, allowing the young man to win the race and her hand in marriage. 3. Literary Adaptations In classical and children's literature, a notable version is the short story "The Three Golden Apples" by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, included in his famous book A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys (1851), where he adapts the myth of Hercules and Atlas in an engaging way for young readers.
