Through the use of NOAA satellites that follow a polar route, thousands of individual satellite images were combined to produce the truest image of what the Earth looks like. The mosaic, not unlike a jigsaw puzzle, was assembled over a 14 month period of time.
Also available as a great companion to this Living Earth Image is the Brilliant Earth Image, a night time version of this bestseller (see below).
