Blue Marble Earth, North America
Blue Marble image of the Earth centered over North America. This is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date (February, 2002). 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 (.386 square mile) of the planet. Much of the information contained in this image came from a single remote-sensing device-NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.
