    These pictures were taken with NASA’s Terra satelite and released on the Internet about 8 years.

    You’ll find better quality TIFF images at http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/ along with animated movies.

    try this one…
    http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/BlueMarble/Images/marble_2002_australia_2048.jpg

    the largest ausience in the world is in the US…gizmodo survives on the number of clicks it gets for each article

    so///common denominator requires a US centric angel

    there is plenty of AU material…just needs the blogger/writet/author to be bothered
