NASA's EPIC camera aboard NOAA's DSCOVR satellite recorded a full year of life on Earth from its orbit at Lagrange point 1, approximately 1 million miles from Earth. The colors shown are the best estimate of what a human sitting at the location of EPIC would see. EPIC takes at least one set of images about every two hours. The camera records each set in 10 different wavelengths. At least three separate wavelengths--red, green, and blue--are combined to produce this color view.
