Behold one of the more stunningly detailed images of the Earth yet created
Behold one of the more detailed images of the Earth yet created. This Blue Marble Earth montage shown above -- created from photographs taken by the Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on board the new Suomi NPP satellite -- shows many stunning details of our home planet. The Suomi NPP satellite was launched last October and renamed last week after Verner Suomi, commonly deemed the father of satellite meteorology. The composite was created from the data collected during four orbits of the robotic satellite taken earlier this month and digitally projected onto the globe. Many features of North America and the Western Hemisphere are particularly visible on a high resolution version of the image

EDITORS COMMENTS
Behold one of the more stunningly detailed images of the Earth yet created. This Blue Marble Earth montage, shown above, captures the breathtaking beauty and intricate features of our home planet. Created from photographs taken by NASA's Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on board the Suomi NPP satellite, this composite image showcases numerous remarkable details. The Suomi NPP satellite, launched last October and recently renamed after Verner Suomi - known as the father of satellite meteorology - has revolutionized our understanding of Earth's weather patterns. The data collected during four orbits earlier this month was digitally projected onto a globe to create this mesmerizing composition. Upon closer inspection, many notable features of North America and the Western Hemisphere become apparent in high resolution versions of this image. From majestic mountain ranges to winding rivers and sprawling coastlines, every corner reveals nature's awe-inspiring artistry. This photograph serves as a reminder that we are privileged to call such a diverse and vibrant planet our home. It invites us to appreciate its delicate ecosystems, cherish its natural wonders, and protect it for future generations. As we gaze upon this extraordinary depiction of Earth from space, let us be inspired to explore further into the mysteries it holds while also recognizing our responsibility to preserve its precious resources.
