This photograph of earth from space shows the planet from a very unusual perspective.
Obviously, it illustrates that we’re a water world.
It also shows that literally and entire half of the globe is Pacific Ocean.
Hawaii is known as one of the most remote island chains in the world, with the most distance to any land anywhere. This is visible here.
California is at the top (see me there?) and the entire west coast of North and South America span the upper third of the globe.
Hi Norbert!! (waving from down south — where I’m hoping to see you and Trish soon).
What is the white dot in the exact center? A targeting artifact?
Oh, it’s French Polynesia!
