Earth, DSCOVR Satellite View

The image, taken from a vantage point one million miles from Earth, was one of the first taken by the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) on NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. Africa occupies most of the view, with Europe to the North and the Arabian Peninsula and Central Asia to the East. The photographic-quality color image was generated by combining three separate images of the entire Earth taken a few minutes apart. The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters -- from ultraviolet to near infrared -- to produce a variety of science products. The red, green and blue channel images are used in these Earth images.
