NASA: Blue Marble, Next Generation

NASA has some incredible high resolution images of the earth, as seen from space, on the "Blue Marble" project website.

"The Blue Marble Next Generation dataset provides a monthly global cloud-free true-color picture of the Earth's landcover at a 500-meter spatial resolution."

Below is the composite image (which I've scaled down) for the month of May.

Ooh, you have a site meter block? Very clever! What, you average, uh, 0.3? Yeah, I'd want to keep it hidden to if I were you.

Why do I get the sneaky gut feeling that that last comment won't make it through screaning? Just a guess. Of course what with me saying this, you'll probably post it just to prove me wrong but hey, you loose either way.

Whoa, who allowed those comments to be posted?!...oh wait, that would be me!

See Ribeiro, you really shouldn't be so cynical :-)

Well, thanks for the comments; however, my average is quite a bit more then 0.3...but interesting guess anyway. :-p
