Earth from space, satellite image
Earth from space. Satellite image showing North and South America as seen from 35, 000 kilometres above the Earths surface. North is at top and the Moon is at upper right. Clouds (white) are seen, as are seas and oceans (blue). Land cover ranges from vegetation such as forests and grassy plains (green) to arid areas such as deserts, mountains, and scrublands (brown). This image combines data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASAs Terra satellite and NOas Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the beauty and vastness of our planet Earth as seen from space. Taken from a satellite positioned 35,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, this image showcases North and South America in all their glory. The top of the frame reveals the North Pole while at the upper right corner, we catch a glimpse of our celestial neighbor, the Moon. The intricate details visible in this photograph are made possible by combining data from two powerful satellites: NASA's Terra satellite equipped with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument and NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES). From lush green forests to arid deserts, mountains to scrublands, this image portrays Earth's diverse land cover with stunning accuracy. Clouds adorn the sky like fluffy white cotton balls while seas and oceans shimmer in various shades of blue. As we explore further into this mesmerizing scene, it becomes evident that our planet is teeming with life and natural wonders. The Amazon rainforest stands out prominently as one of Earth's most precious treasures. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how interconnected everything on our planet truly is - continents surrounded by vast bodies of water; circular patterns formed by cloud cover; day turning into night as stars begin to twinkle against an ink-black backdrop. It encapsulates both the fragility and resilience of our home in space – a testament to its enduring beauty for generations past, present, and future.
