The entire sunlit side of Earth,\u00a0 July 6. 2015 by the Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite (NASA) from the Lagrange Point one, at a distance of 1.6 million km.<\/p>\n

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 .<\/p>\n

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\u00b10.2 nm), green (551\u00b11 nm), and blue (443\u00b11 nm) were returned at their full 2048-pixel-square resolution.<\/p>\n
