Earth images
This page is a collection of map images of the Earth, created from
several different data sources. Some of the images are interesting
in themselves, others are useful for compositing with other maps, as
masks or overlays. All of the images are in a cylindrical (latitude/longitude)
projection.
Note: All of the images on this page were created by Dave Pape, while
a federal employee at NASA/GSFC. They are therefore copyright-free.
See the official
NASA guidelines
if you want more detailed legalese.
You’re free to use them however you wish, but if you publish anything
significant using them (websites, videos, articles, etc), I’d
enjoy hearing about it.
