The shown section is 720 600 by default but can be resized using the and buttons at the top. It was taken by the crew of the apollo 17 spacecraft on its way to the moon and is one of the most reproduced images in history. This spectacular blue marble image is the most detailed true color image of the entire earth to date. The original blue marble was a composite of four months of modis observations with a spatial resolution level of detail of 1 square kilometer per pixel.

A hallmark of a firefly map is the dark desaturated imagery basemap. Clicking near the edge of the picture moves the focus into the respective direction clicking on its center zooms in and back out thus switching between 4 and 0 5 gigapixel. Next generation offers greater spatial detail of the surface and spans a longer data collection period than the original. The next generation blue marble everyone knows that nasa studies space.

Next generation offers a year s worth of. The resolution holds up to about 1 2 000 000 so it s great for global and regional maps. It is a set of cloud free image mosaics from nasa s blue marble. Fewer people know that nasa also studies earth.

Using a collection of satellite based observations scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface oceans sea ice and clouds into a seamless true color mosaic of every square kilometer 0 386 square mile of our planet. This was the first time the apollo trajectory. Display of a section of the 86400 43200 blue marble pictures that nasa derived from imagery taken in 2004.
