  • Its an interesting image, but the resolution is low. Have you checked NASA to see if a higher quality version is available? JJ Harrison (talk) 23:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It was taken from NASA's WorldWind Software. I'll try my best to gat a higher resolution. Rishabh Tatiraju (talk) 07:12, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, there no high-res version available Rishabh Tatiraju (talk) 03:53, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you take adjacent images and blend them together to make it bigger overall? Resolution questions are a little bit silly when you're taking a photo of a fractal. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 11:55, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good thing it isn't a photo of a fractal :P. JJ Harrison (talk) 21:59, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • It totally is a fractal (until you get close to individual grains, but that's not exactly a problem here). Aaadddaaammm (talk) 19:02, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is a nice picture, but pretty low resolution. Be careful with the term "outer space" too. This image is almost certainly captured from low earth orbit, which is not outer space. - Zephyris Talk 23:01, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
