Only a single snapshot, Elektro-L No.1 satellite of Russia has made the earth panoramic image, with resolution of up to 121 megapixel, maximum resolution for a picture single image.

Typically, to capture high-definition picture and wide viewing angle (Paranoma), need to take each in turn in each area, then blend multiple images together to create a complete image with a resolution greater than . That was the way in which scientists use to photograph the entire planet from space.

One photograph of the earth is the world’s most famous painting “The Blue Marble” (Vienna green marble), the Apollo 17 spacecraft, NASA’s capture in 1972, from a distance of 45,000 km compared to Earth . To produce this image, NASA to combine multiple images taken from different satellites, to produce an image with maximum resolution.

Beautiful Earth through satellite photo

Especially that is the color of the globe on this picture different from the color of the globe in the photographstaken by NASA. The reason for this is because the Russian meteorological satellite sensors used to acquire both visible light and infrared light from the earth. Infrared light has led to the plant floor on earth imageappears on the form of yellow instead of green.

You can view panoramic eastern hemisphere of the globe through 121 megapixel image capture from the Russian weather satellite in here (you can zoom in and zoom out).
