Earth Takes a Selfie

Earth Takes a Selfie

The view of Earth from space is amazing, but even better is a picture of Earth out of people's selfies. NASA put together a collection of 36,000 tiny photos, all taken on Earth Day 2014, with each photo pasted on the spot where it was taken. People had either blue sky or white clouds above their heads, or dusty desert or green grass behind them, so each photo gives that place the right color! And since everyone took the photos during daylight, Earth gets to look sunny everywhere at once.
