On Earth Day this year, NASA asked people all over the world to take selfies (a photo of yourself taken by yourself using a digital camera, as Merriam-Webster will tell you) and send them in for a special project.
Now we’re seeing the fruits of our selfie-taking labor: An interactive image of our planet, composed of your selfies, as seen from space.
NASA recently released its “Global Selfie” that included more than 36,000 individual photographs from the more than 50,000 images posted around the world on Earth Day.
The Global Selfie mosaic project was designed to encourage environmental awareness and to recognize the space agency’s ongoing work to protect our home planet.
The supermassive black hole is 40 million times as massive as the sun and powers a quasar that existed 700 million years after the Big Bang.
The asteroid zoomed by Earth at a perfectly safe distance of around 1.8 million miles (2.9 kilometers).
Images show surprise changes to the spacecraft as it interacted with the atmosphere.
Holly mother of selfies.....
-_- 5 years ago and the title would read "NASA an Image of Earth Made from 36,000 Selfies"
The creator of the camera is rolling in his grave...
Well... now we know what nasa spends its money on.
Blech. NASA keeps trying to play the "cool" government agency shtick.
