NASA released updated "Blue Marble"


Last week, NASA released the updated version of "Blue Marble." While most people are clueless as to Suomi NPP's purpose in space, almost every iPhone has this satellite's masterpiece as their default. When Suomi NPP captured a sequel back on January 23, it began trending almost instantly. "Blue Marble" is one of the all-time most viewed images on the site after only one week, ringing in over 3.1 million views on Flickr (an international image and video hosting website). Flicr is a great source for photographers that are a) getting there work out in the world or b) seeing what other photographers are engaging in. Whatever the reason, Flickr, along with other image-based websites such as Pinterest, is a great source for photographers to research the world of design.
