A 64 megapixel (8000 x 8000) image of the earth from space. You can see a smaller version of it here, which has a link to the full HD image. Wow.

Neat. They would take it on a cloudy Virginia day -- I was hoping to see the Chesapeake Bay Bridge but nope just clouds.

I found Fort Worth; couldn't make out the city streets.

I just wish the angle or aspect ratio or whatever of the composite were more accurate. The detail is amazing, but everything on the globe seems at least twice as big as it should be.
