    A new weather satellite has relayed its first images of Earth back to scientists, and the new collection includes an updated version of the iconic "Blue Marble" image of Earth.

    That is the first GEOS-16 image with the new imaging. F'in FANTASTIC! <3

    That image isn't even the full res of what it can do, which is said to be over 400 megapixel. That I would LOVE to see.

    That resolution is amazing...I can see Russia

    This should be of interest to any space folks, and figured it was timely with all the Space X Feb launches. Lots of CubeSats and various commercial payloads going up. Is this the biggest private investment frontier? Or still too far out for consideration?

    I was wondering if somebody would beat me to posting this.

    This one is roughly 10,000 by 10,000 pixels. Looks like winter in the PNW.

    Kinda space related, but being a visual artist and producer/director in a past life, this Lytro company has my geek panties dropping hard.

    Lytro Cinema is a 755 MP ( https://www.lytro.com/cinema ) camera that maps every single pixel in 3D space. The possibilities are endless and the lines between reality and augmented reality will disappear soon.

    Watch the videos and check out the 3D stuff there.
