We tend to think of blogs that showcase large images as a phenomenon of the past few years. But NASA's Earth Observatory has been posting its
Image of the Day since April 1999 (when its first "large" image available for download was
a 214 KB jpeg of the North Pole). Now, Image of the Day has downloads of images in multiple formats, most of which measure in megabytes, not kilobytes, and these stunning images of the earth's surface give context to the human activity down below:
a toxic spill in Hungary,
wildfires in Mexico, the growth of
a coal mine in West Virginia,
agriculture in Brazil,
snowmelt flooding in Fargo, North Dakota,
last year's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,
artificial islands in Dubai,
the aftermath of Japan's recent tsunami.
