Rotating Blue Marble
The Blue Marble Next Generation (BMNG) data set provides a monthly global cloud-free true-color picture of the Earth's landcover at a 500-meter spatial resolution. This data set, shown on a globe, is derived from monthly data collected in 2004. The ocean color is derived from applying a depth shading to the bathymetry data. The Antarctica coverage shown is the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica.

This animation depicts a 360 degree rotation of a globe with the Blue Marble data set.    This animation depicts a 360 degree rotation of a globe with the Blue Marble data set.
