Earth globe
This globe has been rendered using both the Planetary Visions Satellite Imagemap, and worldwide bathymetry data.
The Satellite Imagemap is a highly realistic texture map of the Earth's entire surface. Derived from thousands of Earth-observation satellite images, the Satellite Imagemap represents an accurate and detailed portrait of our world at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The worldwide bathymetry data represents one of the most detailed models of the global seafloor yet assembled - a unique combination of the latest satellite-derived gravity measurements with digital bathymetric charts based on more than a hundred years of ship-borne hydrographic surveys.
