This infra-red image highlights a wide range of different aspects of London and surrounding towns, including urban structures, woodland, golf courses, water bodies and agricultural patterns. It was made using data from the Enhanced Thematic Mapper sensor on the Landsat 7 satellite, which orbits the Earth from space at a height of 700km, and is capable of seeing objects just 15m across.

This image extract (right) shows the complex agricultural field structure visible in the poster in blues and greens, with forested areas brown and urban areas in grey. The layout of a golf course can also be clearly identified in the southwest portion of the image.

An extract of the 1:100,000 Philips road and tourist map is shown to the left. This popular map can be used to accurately pinpoint places of interest on the corresponding image, and makes the image-map pair ideal for educational purposes.
