Today I was feeling the need to update my desktop, and decided to look around for a 1280x1024 version of Earthrise. I couldn't quickly find one...so I did the next best thing, grabbed this 2400x2400 version from NASA and cropped it. Feel free to grab my (1024x768) version here.
** Update Feb 17, 2008 **
Since I've got a new 22" wide format monitor, I needed to rebuild my Earthrise desktop. So here it is, in 1680x1050 rez.
