The blue marble of 2012

NASA has published the following image yesterday, and put it into the public domain (using a CC license):

This was taken with the VIIRS instrument on the Suomi NPP satellite. Get the full size of 8000×8000 pixels from Flickr for your pixel-peeping pleasures, or as a really impressive desktop wallpaper. Enjoy.

See also on the Flickr blog, or at NPR. The image was provided by NASA Goddard Photo and Video – thanks.
