Gorgeous Images of Earth From a New Vegetation-Mapping Minisatellite

Launched on May 7, 2013, the European Space Agency's minisatellite Proba-V monitors Earth's plants, covering the entire planet every two days. At the end of the month, after a year in orbit, this little bundle of sensors will be taking over the job of a series of satellites that have been tracking the health of the planet's vegetation for 16 years.
