Russian Satellite Takes Most Detailed 121-Megapixel Image of Earth Yet
Diggester writes "The satellite, known as Elektro-L No.1, took an image from its stationary point over 35,000 kilometers above the Indian Ocean. This is the most detailed image of the Earth yet available, capturing the Earth in a single shot with 121-megapixels. NASA satellites use a collection of pictures from multiple flybys stitched together. The detail in the pic is just amazing."
The article explains the color, maybe read it?
You must be new here.
I think the new "in" joke is to ask whether you've read the article.
As a russian, I would like to take this opportunity to insolently question whether NASA still has any satellites at all, with all the funding cuts and everything.
As another russian, I find that funny.
