Blue Marble 2

NASA has done it again.... this time the gorgeous image before you takes in the Arctic Circle (the geographic location, not the fast food restaurant) as its main focus.  You can find it here if you want to download it for yourselves.

Blue Marble 2012

Isn't our world absolutely gorgeous? New satellite from NASA captured this Hi-Res beauty and is offering a free download here for anyone who is interested. I tried downloading both the 1024 and the 8000 versions ... obviously the 1024 downloads faster, but the 8000 is well worth the extra minute it takes to load.
