In July last year, NASA relayed the very first image taken by its Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (http://www.nesdis.**aa.gov/DSCOVR/) (ironically, EPIC for short).*
The image marked the first of its kind to show the sunlit side of the Earth. A year later, NASA has gifted us dwelling here on the big spinning rock with vision of what a year on Earth looks like from a million miles away.

EPIC is a component of the satellite Deep Space Climate Observatory (DISCOVR) (http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/), which is balanced between the gravity of the planet we call home and the sun. It captures a photo every two hours (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=87675&eocn=home&eoci=iotd_image)that depicts just how the human eye would see its home from the outside — from its atmospheric changes to its drifting of clouds and stirring of storm systems.* Read more...
