In honor of Earth Day, NASA asked its fans on Earth to submit photos of the planet “from the ground up.”
“Get outside and show us mountains, parks, the sky, rivers, lakes — wherever you are, there’s your picture,” NASA explained in a blog post.
St. Louisans did just that, sharing photos on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
