January 28, 2021. Flying high above the Rocky Mountain region of the United States, a Maxar satellite downlinks new images for the Science Channel television show 'What on Earth?'

That may sound like the start of a new episode-and it is! For nine seasons, 'What on Earth?' producers have been solving Earth's mysteries using a combination of Maxar satellite imagery and expert analysis. Each story on the show starts with a unique image of Earth and then explores different theories for what's happening on the ground.

Since 2017, Maxar's Ken Joyce has been contributing to the show as an imagery analyst.

'On the show, I leverage Maxar's SecureWatch subscription service to expand upon the main image with additional imagery and tools to help solve the mystery,' said Ken Joyce, Maxar's Director of Product Management. 'In my favorite stories, I look back in time to see how the area of interest has changed, or I use combinations of spectral bands, which were collected by our satellite to reveal things otherwise hidden to the human eye.'
