[eo-announce] Earth Observatory: What's New Weeks of October 24-November 7, 2017

It has come to our attention that the weekly Earth Observatory update did not get distributed through our list provider for the past two weeks. So, this update covers October 24-November 7 and then the regular weekly update for this past week will be sent tomorrow morning (Wednesday, November 15).

Thank you for your patience, and for the emails from those of you who noticed the lapse.
