	NASA - NASA Unveils its Blue Marble: Next Generation
		The original Blue Marble was a composite of four months of MODIS observations with a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 1 square kilometer per pixel.
		Those who intend to use the Blue Marble: Next Generation in their own publications or projects should be aware of areas that still require improvement.
		Deep oceans are not included in the source data; the creator of the Blue Marble uses a uniform blue color for deep ocean regions, and this value has not been completely blended with observations of shallow water in coastal areas.

	The Blue Marble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blue Marble is a famous photograph of the Earth taken on 7 December 1972 by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft at a distance of about 45,000 kilometers or about 28,000 miles.
		Released during a surge in environmental activism during the 1970s, the image was seen by many as a depiction of Earth's frailty, vulnerability, and isolation amid the expanse of space.
		Subsequent similar images of Earth (including composites at much higher resolution) have also been termed "blue marble" images, and the phrase "blue marble" (as well as the picture itself) is used frequently by environmental activism organizations or companies attempting to promote an environmentally conscious image.

	Blue Marble
		Marble is an extremely versatile material that is prized for its beauty and durability on many different surfaces.

	Sagittarius : The Blue Marble (Bonus Tracks) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The second and final album from Sagittarius was the first for the ambitious Together Records in 1969, but the label folded soon afterward, leaving The Blue Marble virtually unheard for over 30 years.
		Like its predecessor Present Tense, The Blue Marble is producer Gary Usher's (the Beach Boys, the Byrds) take on the decidedly late-1960s sunshine pop genre, and features members of the Millennium, including the legendary Curt Boettcher.
		Of the five bonus tracks, "Navajo Girl" is the most startling: a country-cum-sunshine pop song with a raga intro, layered vocal harmonies, and soaring horn section, it's a wonder it wasn't included on the initial release.

		The original image is larger and with non-uniform resolution, see the link, but scaled down the detail level is still better.
		The blur in the Blue Marble image probably results from combining a lot of different images for cloud freeness.
