This is the new hi-resolution image of Earth I mentioned in the group last night. Read more about it here.
The image, named The Blue Marble 2012 by NASA, is a composite, created using a number of swaths of the Earth’s surface taken on Jan. 4, 2012. It echoes the legendary “Blue Marble” photograph, taken by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft on Dec, 7, 1972.
And here is the link to NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day that Bob mentioned.
