The Living Earth: A best seller! This image is a mosaic of hundreds
of satellite images. This topographical map is both beautiful and
accurate. The extent of desert is staggering, and the rich, deep
oceans show up wonderfully. It displays the longitude and latitude
along with "Time Clocks" that represent the different time zones
around the world.
Through the use of NOAA satellites that follow a
polar route, thousands of individual satellite images were combined
to produce the truest image of what the Earth looks like. The
mosaic, not unlike a jigsaw puzzle, was assembled over a 14 month
period of time.
Also available as a great companion to this Living
Earth Image is the Brilliant Earth Image, a night time version of
this bestseller (see below).
