“Earth from Space” from the NASA archive image, release date October 17, 2000 – NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s flickr account (Link opens in new window)
This true-color image (shown above) shows North and South America as they would appear from space 35,000 km (22,000 miles) above the Earth. The image is a combination of data from two satellites. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA’s (National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s) Terra satellite collected the land surface data over 16 days, while NOAA’s (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) produced a snapshot of the Earth’s clouds. Image created by Reto Stöckli, Nazmi El Saleous, and Marit Jentoft-Nilsen, NASA GSFC (National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center).
