Satellite view of Earth showing primarily the Pacific Ocean side, with minimal visible landmasses. The image shows Earth as a blue sphere against the black of space, with a bright rim of atmospheric glow along the edge. This perspective showcases the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, which dominates most of the visible hemisphere, with only small portions of land visible near the edges, likely parts of Antarctica and South America. The ocean appears as various shades of deep blue, with some cloud patterns visible across its surface.
