Blue Earth Marble With Natural Earth Continents, Recycled Glass, 5 In A Pouch, 1 Inch Diameter

Product Information

Created by the Mylands Technical Team, this is a blend of traditional and modern techniques of timber ageing and wood character enhancement. The Blue Marble was not the first clear color image taken of an illuminated face of Earth, since such images by satellites had already been made and released as early as 1967, [7] and is the second time such a photo was taken by a person after the 1968 photograph Earthrise taken by William Anders of Apollo 8. This image has also been used to validate state-of-the-art atmospheric reanalysis fifty years after it was taken. Most people who glanced out the window and saw something like that would be distracted no matter how busy they were.

You can also use it on exterior wood, but do bear in mind that it would be for decorative purposes only, rather than offering protection to the wood. NASA explores the unknown in air and space, innovates for the benefit of humanity, and inspires the world through discovery. Although no one found the words to say so at the time, the ‘Blue marble’ was a photographic manifesto for global justice.Poet-diplomat Abhay Kumar penned an Earth anthem inspired by the Blue Marble which contains "all the peoples and the nations of the world, one for all, all for one, united we unfurl the blue marble flag". NASA has also applied the name to a 2012 series of images which cover the entire globe at relatively high resolution. The translucent blue marble is made from recycled glass, adding to the quality of this wonderful gift for all ages.

The image was created using a near-sided perspective projection with the viewing point placed 2,100 km (1,300 miles) above 20° North by 100° West. If use of the Earth Oil Overlay is desired, allow the Earth Oil to dry for 24 hours before application of the Overlay. This uniquely shaped coin comes housed in a clear, luxury presentation case which shows off this spherical coin perfectly, accompanied by an individual certificate of authenticity.The color balance has been adjusted to approximate an image that could be seen with the average human eye. The picture is composed of data obtained by the Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on board the Suomi NPP satellite on January 4, 2012. A number of interactive viewers for these data have also been released, among them a music visualization for the PlayStation 3 that is based on the texture data. This translunar coast photograph extends from the Mediterranean Sea area to the Antarctica South polar ice cap. By removing the graticule – the grid of meridians and parallels humans place over the globe – the image represented an earth freed from mapping practices that had been in place for hundreds of years.

It was the first photograph taken of the whole round Earth and the only one ever snapped by a human being. This storm had brought flooding and high winds to the Indian state of Tamil Nadu on December 5, two days before the photograph was taken. Firstly, ensure that all areas to be coated are well ventilated before, during and after application. NASA policy is to credit the entire crew for all mission photography, so there is no official position. During this campaign, Brand met Richard Buckminster Fuller, who offered to help Brand with his project.You can't see the Earth as a globe unless you get at least twenty thousand miles away from it, and only 24 humans ever went that far into outer space.

It’s the finish to choose for those busy areas that see plenty of coming and going, because it’s washable and resistant to stains, marks and condensation.It was a blue-green beacon in a vast black cosmos, beguiling them on a cellular level, getting smaller by the minute. Lunar missions only made two orbits around the earth, three hours of frantic preparation before cranking it up to escape velocity.
