Our Earth - beautiful whole globe photo over Africa

NASA put out a "blue globe' photo last week, but who wants to see yet another photo of America from the Americans? Nice to see they've now let us see some of the other side of the planet.

Next photo Oceania and Asia please NASA!

UPDATE: NASA has explained how they pieced the satellite pictures together to get this overall globe.

They also explain that from the satellite's perspective, the Earth is like if you hold a basketball 15mm from your face!
