NASA 'Blue Marble' Series: The Best Images Of The Earth To Date

Quote from The Huffington Post

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has recently uploaded a stunning series of high-resolution photos to its Flickr account. The series, called 'Blue Marble,' features satellite-based composite photographs taken from June to September 2001. According to NASA, the 'Blue Marble' images are the 'most detailed true-color images of the entire Earth to date.'

Unlike single-frame images taken of Earth from above, the 'Blue Marble' series is a 'mosaic' of photographs. Land surface, deep oceans and seas, shallow coastlines, ice, and clouds were compiled and 'stitched together' by scientists and visualizers to create a 'seamless' portrait of our planet.

These images of our planet are simply stunning. It really make you stop and admire the beauty of the planet we live on, in addition to the other amazing features of our universe. I hope you all enjoy these pictures as much as I did.
