A short while ago on this blog, we told you about San Serriffe Island, the most beautiful typographic April Fool's ever<\/a>. We can't help but pass on the magnificent April Fool's of the CNES (Centre national d'\u00e9tudes spatiales), which is a perfect match for that of San Serrife Island.<\/p>\n On April 1, 2014, CNES unveiled a new island discovered by Pleiades satellites<\/a>, a new kind of earth observation satellite whose photos are no match for Yann Arthus Bertrand !<\/p>\n So it was during 3 days of very serious conferences, organized in association with Airbus Defense & Space, that the discovery of this island was presented during the opening speech. For the 400 participants, the surprise was total. Laughter and applause followed. This was followed by a presentation of the results of 130 thematic studies into the potential uses of Pleiades satellite data.<\/p>\n Pl\u00e9iades is a pair of optical Earth observation satellites. The Pl\u00e9iades 1A and Pl\u00e9iades 1B satellites operate as a true constellation in the same orbit, 180\u00b0 apart. Perfectly identical, they deliver very high-resolution optical products in record time, with daily revisit capability.<\/p>\n Here are some magnificent images of these satellites.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
