Earth

The 'Blue Marble'

NASA scientific camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite returned this view of Earth on July 6, 2015, from a distance of one million miles. The DSCOVR satellite is a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Air Force to maintain the nation’s real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities, which are critical to the accuracy and lead time of space weather alerts and forecasts from NOAA.
