Earth from Space

A time-lapse of Planet Earth, created from images produced by the geostationary Electro-L Weather Satellite. The images were obtained beginning on May 14th, and end on May 20th. The images are the largest whole disk images of our planet, each image is 121 megapixels, and the resolution is 1 kilometer per pixel. They are taken every half hour, and have been interpolated (smoothed) to create this video. The images are taken in four different wavelengths of light, three visible, and one infrared. The infrared light is reflected by forests and vegetation, which appear orange in these images.

The satellite is upside down.

[Garry Kappmeier]

HEY! Who turned the Earth upside-down?

[TrueHamal]

I'd never seen until this moment all my World turned upside down! I never had imagined, till I watched these sightings of the Earth, that I could be existing, walking everyday upside down! Of course, the other ones, the diametrally opposed to on the Sphere's Surface would tell just the same sentences or arguments. So, it's the unique, the odd symmetry of the Sphere or that of the Ellipsoid. A sphere is nothing else than an odd ellipsoid in which both focuses fit in just the one with each other.

There is no up or down, the humans make we think there is..
