Ginormous NASA picture of Earth, Part II
Last week saw the release of a huge NASA picture of Earth. Apparently the stunning 8000 x 8000 resolution image was just large enough to upset a few people who thought the ‘North American’ Space Agency only took high resolution pictures of Earth’s Western Hemisphere. So to prevent an Occupy NASA, the agency released Part 2, this time of the Eastern Hemisphere.
Here is a link to how the NASA picture of Earth was put together, literally.
Big Blue from the other side
Thank goodness there are only 7 billion people on this planet.
