, was made with 36,422 individual images that were posted to social media sites on or around Earth Day. NASA asked people around the world to answer a question “Where are you on Earth Right Now?” on social media, with a selfie. The goal was to use each picture as a pixel in the creation of a “Global Selfie” – a mosaic image that would look like Earth appeared from space on Earth Day. People on every continent – 113 countries and regions in all – posted selfies.
