Say hello to Planet Earth, as seen from 36,000km above the surface, with the rich deep blues of the sea contrasting with the sharp outlines of land, as white clouds scurry across the skies.

The image was taken by the Electro-L, Russia’s latest weather satellite, and unlike other images of our planet, it was taken in one single shot, at a massive resolution of 121 megapixels… It’s the highest resolution image of our home planet.

Most images by NASA and other agencies are taken by stitching many images together, so it is rare to find such a high-definition image of our beautiful planet in one single shot.

So sit back and enjoy the view before the humans destroy it.

You can find more high-resolution photos of our fair planet here.
