For Earth Day this year (April 22), NASA invited people from around the globe to step outside to take a &lsquo;selfie&rsquo; and share it with the world on social media.
&ldquo;With the global selfie, NASA used crowd-sourced digital imagery to illustrate a different aspect of earth than has been measured from satellites for decades: a mosaic of faces from around the globe,&rdquo; said Peg Luce, deputy director of the earth science division in the science mission directorate at NASA.
The &lsquo;global selfie&rsquo; mosaic was built using more than 36,000 individual photographs drawn from the more than 50,000 images tagged #GlobalSelfie and posted on or around Earth Day, April 22, on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google+ and Flickr.
Selfies were posted by people on every continent and 113 countries and regions, from Antarctica to Yemen, Greenland to Guatemala, and Pakistan to Peru. The &lsquo;global selfie&rsquo; was assembled after several weeks of collecting and curing the submitted images, NASA reported.
