Finally we will have daily color images of Earth :)

” Earth: Not mounted on a stand, with color-coded state and national boundaries, as schoolroom globes are prone to display. Instead, we see our world as only a cosmic perspective can provide: Blue Oceans – Dry Land – White Clouds – Polar Ice. A Sun-lit planet, teeming with life, framed in darkness.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson

The entire sunlit side of Earth,  July 6. 2015 by the Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite (NASA) from the Lagrange Point one, at a distance of 1.6 million km.

The Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope. The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters from ultraviolet to near infrared .

EPIC will provide a daily series of Earth images wich will be posted by September 2015. EPIC takes images once every 1.8 hours, continuously. For this first image, red (680±0.2 nm), green (551±1 nm), and blue (443±1 nm) were returned at their full 2048-pixel-square resolution.
