ESA-Massive Attack collaboration unveiled in Liverpool

A mesmerising audiovisual experience from trip-hop collective Massive Attack that blends an original score with stunning satellite images of Earth was enjoyed by thousands of climate enthusiasts this weekend in Liverpool.

Based exclusively on satellite images and accompanied by an original score by the band Massive Attack, this video takes you on a journey to some of the most beautiful, remote places on Earth, many of which are already affected by environmental change: melting glaciers, rising sea levels, rainforests threatened by deforestation, growing desertification affecting croplands, and uncontrolled urban sprawl. The video is part of a larger set of events to celebrate the city of Liverpool being named the World’s First 'Accelerator City' for Climate Action by UN Climate Change.

You can watch the full video on the ESA Extras YouTube channel. 

Original Score "CelestialCTV" by Robert Del Naja & Euan Dickinson. Contains Copernicus Sentinel-2 images.
