 A Timelapse of Planet Earth, October 2011 to March 2012

A time-lapse of Planet Earth, created from images produced by the geostationary Electro-L Weather Satellite. The images were obtained from October 14th, 2011 to April 1st, 2012. The images are the largest whole disk images of our planet, each image is 121 megapixels, and the resolution is 1 kilometre per pixel. They are taken every half hour, and have been interpolated (smoothed) to create this video. The images are taken in four different wavelengths of light, three visible, and one infrared. The infrared light is reflected by forests and vegetation, which appear orange in these images.
