You always find many eye-catching and awsome Earth pictures but Suomi NPP’s Earth image is better than all. We may say that Suomi NPP has achieved one of its missions as it was sent to capture beautiful Earth images, natural disaster monitoring and weather forecasts predictions.

Numerous swaths of Earth surface were taken first then this composite high resolution images was made. The Blue Marble 2012 is named after legendary “Blue Marble” – a photograph taken by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft on Dec, 7, 1972. It took a long period to beat Blue Marble 1972.
