    The Landsat Data Continuity Mission has taken  the largest picture of the Earth. The satellite captured the image from 704 kilometers away from the Earth. The image is an amazing 9 656 kilometers long and 193 kilometers wide, and its name, “The Long Swath.”

    To capture the strip of the Earth from Russia to South Africa it took all of 20 minutes. This is because the satellite travels at very high speeds allowing for a relatively accurate picture of what was happening at that exact moment in time. The Landsat Data Continuity Mission travels at an incredible 27 358 kilometers per hour.

    Thanks to NASA’s Earth Observatory you can view the images in a variety of ways, check it out.
