Here are simulated views of Earth, minus the clouds, from the position of five main geostationary weather satellites, each over a different longitude (145°E, 057°E, 000°E, 057°W, and 132°W). We used data from our Visible Paleo-Earth and SER to generate these views for ten periods encompassing the last 600 million years. During these periods our planet became more habitable for complex life . Look here for actual satellite images of Earth from these satellites. Click each image for a better resolution version. High resolution versions (15 megapixels) are available by special request . CREDIT: Visible Paleo-Earth Project, Planetary Habitability Laboratory @ UPR Arecibo.
