This Portal site offers a brief introduction to the type of data NASA makes available to the public.
APOD or Astronomy Picture of the Day is one of the most popular NASA websites. We have provided you with this picture and its brief explanation.
The EPIC section provides information on the daily imagery collected by DSCOVR's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument. Uniquely positioned at the Earth-Sun Lagrange point, EPIC provides full disc imagery of the Earth and captures unique perspectives of certain astronomical events such as lunar transits using a 2048x2048 pixel CCD (Charge Coupled Device) detector coupled to a 30-cm aperture Cassegrain telescope. You can read more about the EPIC project on their site: EPIC

This dataset was last updated on August 26, 2015 and first created August 26, 2015. There are 485 rows of
data about facilities.
