Using data from nasa s terra satellite scientists and data visualizers stitched together four months of observations of the land surface coastal oceans sea ice and clouds into a seamless photo like mosaic of every square.
Blue marble nasa 2002.
Using a collection of satellite based observations scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface oceans sea ice and clouds into a seamless true color mosaic of every square kilometer 386 square mile of our planet.
The original blue marble was a composite of four months of modis observations.
In 2002 nasa produced the blue marble the most detailed true color image of the earth s surface ever produced.
Image of the blue marble 2002 much of the information contained in this image came from a single remote sensing device nasa s moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer or modis.
This spectacular blue marble image is the most detailed true color image of the entire earth to date.
It was taken by the crew of the apollo 17 spacecraft on its way to the moon and is one of the most reproduced images in history.

Using a collection of satellite based observations scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface oceans sea ice and clouds into a seamless true color mosaic of every square kilometer 386 square mile of our planet.
In 2002 nasa scientists and visualizers stitched together strips of brand new data in natural color collected over four months from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer or modis instrument aboard terra.
Flying over 700 km above the earth onboard the terra satellite modis provides an integrated tool for observing a variety of terrestrial oceanic and.
