35. Full Earth Mosaic
35. Full Earth Mosaic

View of the full Earth taken by Clementine while orbiting the Moon. This image is a mosaic of color, high-resolution frames. Africa is clearly visible on the right and South America is visible on the left. This is a “false-color” version that makes vegetation appear red. Compare this high-resolution-camera view of Earth with that of the previous slide, taken by the UV-VIS camera.

Image processing by U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona.
