South America is visible on the right, and it looks to me like part of North America might also be pictured close to the horizon. Higher-resolution image: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/art002e00019... | ||||||||

Oh, good point. I missed South America under the cloud cover. I guess the Eastern edge of the US would indeed be visible as a highly distorted smudge on the edge of the visible surface. For a view of roughly the same half of Earth, but with less clouds, if you rotate the image clockwise by 150 degrees you get roughly this viewpoint of the earth: https://earth.google.com/web/@3.63731074,-23.1618975,-2690.7... | ||||||||
