Here's a new view (imaged this month) of Earth from orbit, from a new NASA satellite, the Suomi NPP (National Polar-orbiting Partnership):

It's much more impressive and interesting if you download the full-resolution image (8000x8000 pixels, 16M.
Amazing cool detail! Maybe useful to pick out your campsites in Baja...

Great Post! When ever I see images of the "Whole Earth", I am at once humbled and also struck with the realization that we are clueless when it comes to truly understanding the foundation of all of this.
