NASA asked. 56,erotica - ralphi's eroticism vox000 votes decided.
In honor of Earth Day's 50th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of NASA's Earth Observatory, the space agency invited the public to vote on the best pictures that capture our beautiful planet in the Earth Observatory’s collection. (The Earth Observatory is a publishing outlet where NASA shares images and other discoveries that come from its research.)
After five rounds of voting, the winner of Tournament Earth was announced on April 28.
The winning photo, taken in 2001 by Serge Andrefouet, a remote sensing specialist at the University of South Florida, captures sand and seaweed in the Bahamas using the Landsat 7 satellite. Tides and ocean currents created the patterns you can see in the image.
Check out the winner (and some of the other finalists) below.
