Celebrate Earth Day in Super High Resolution

Changing Weather

The Elektro-L 1 satellite captures the changing weather of the planet below each half hour. The top image was taken May 14, while the lower image, which shows large shifting weather patterns, was taken months later, in October.

These images may be among the largest single photos ever taken of our planet, according to James Drake, who processed them. You can download full-resolution, 11,000 x 11,000 pixel versions of the top and bottom images but, be warned, they are each larger than 100 MB.
