Big Blue Marble Earth
This digital portrait of Earth was created by combining data from several satellites, including GOES, SeaWiFS, and POES, with a USGS elevation model. It is reminiscent of the Apollo-era pictures of our 'big blue marble' Earth from space. The image provides stunning detail of the planet's western hemisphere.
