Leave a Comment
Remember this invitation made by NASA to the commemoration of Earth Day? More than 50 thousand people posted their selfies in social networks â€" with the hashtag #globalselfie â€" to help the space agency to celebrate earth day, celebrated on April 22, in a different way.

Last Thursday, exactly one month after the commemorative date, NASA disclosed the huge selfie for you built in the form of mosaic â€" composed of more than 36 thousand pictures of people who participated in the game.

The collage was made up of a picture of the planet taken April 22, from NASA's own satellites and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

If the reader put a picture on the net â€" with the hashtag #globalselfie, of course â€" you can see in this image of 3.2 gigapixels, whether it was used. But beware, of course, this is a Herculean task. Still, the picture can be enlarged, to facilitate â€" or hinder, depends on â€" the search.

This global selfie also marked the launch into space of eight NASA missions, which will spend the next year to observe the Earth to help solve some of the greatest environmental challenges of today, such as global warming, rising mean sea level and lack of water.
