NASA unveils zoomable 'global selfie' made up of 36,000 crowd-sourced selfies


Are you ready for a close-up? NASA's 'global selfie', released on May 22, is made up of 36,000 pictures contributed by social media users from all around the world, which were then edited to form a mosaic to resemble images of our planet captured on Earth Day, April 22, 2014 by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite.

NASA unveils its ‘global selfie’ – a mosaic of more than 36,000 selfies uploaded to social media showing people and places around the world – proving there is no escape from the selfie.

The 3.2-gigapixel zoomable image, which can be seen below, is the culmination of a project that began on April 22, Earth Day, to upload pictures tagged with #GlobalSelfie to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
