Behold one of the more detailed images of the Earth yet created. This lume-arble Earth mounted shown above created from photographs taken by the visible slashing for Edimager Radiometer Sweetveer's instrument on board the new Somie NPP satellite shows many stunning details of our home planet. The Somie NPP satellite was launched last October and renamed last week after Werner Somie, commonly deemed the father of satellite meteorology. The composite was created from the data collected varying orbits of the robot Excatellite 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. This color image of the Earth was obtained by NASA's Galileo spacecraft Early Deck 12, 1990, when this spacecraft was about 1.6 million miles from the Earth. The image was acquired by the multi-angle imaging spectra Radiometer instrument aboard NASA's spacecraft, the images from the Missour Werner.
