Updated Blue Marble Photo
NASA on Wednesday released “Blue Marble 2012,” a view of the home planet that the agency calls the “most amazing high definition image of Earth.”
Unlike the original Blue Marble — the iconic 1972 photograph taken by the Apollo 17 crew while they were on their way to the moon — this composite image is made from data collected by the Suomi NPP satellite.
