Check out a picture of Earth showing the entire North American continent, Central America, the northern half of South America, Greenland and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

Researchers from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre have released the clearest and most complete image of Planet Earth ever seen.

Compiled by imagery from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imagining Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which is onboard the satellite Terra, the crystal clear view of our home planet was taken from 700 km above the Earth’s surface.

Pieced together using thousands of images observed from the Terra satellite, this representation of our home planet is the most detailed image ever produced.

Showing the entire North American continent, Central America, the northern half of South America, Greenland and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the NASA image captures the fragility of the Earth in one perfect shot.
