For those that say NASA doesn’t serve a community purpose, just glance at this stunning new photo composite of our earth. Amazing.
NASA has just published what it calls the “most amazing highest resolution image of Earth ever”, dubbed Blue Marble. The 64-megapixel image weighing in at 8000×8000 pixels is actually a composite photograph taken on January 4th of this year using a number of captures stitched together from NASA’s Earth-observing satellite Suomi NPP. Make sure to see this sucker full size to really appreciate the details. (via gizmodo via nick ulivieri)

Happy to do it, I’m continually amazed by space. My lifetime goal is to somehow make it there before I die.
That composite is breathtaking. Nice post. Thanks for sharing!
