The images were taken from Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) on board NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite from about a million miles away from our planet. With these photos, Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) can study variation in vegetation, cloud cover and other changes in the Earth’s surface.
