4. LAND CHALLENGE: Remember our month-long Spring Cloud Challenge? Well, we are doing it again, but this time we are focusing on land and our newest feature: Land Cover! For just one week, and kicking off on Public Lands Day (and culminating on NASA's 60th Anniversary!), make as many observations as you can. The top 10 observers will receive a digital certificate and be recognized by name by our team on social media.
