JUST in case you needed reminding of how beautiful our world is,
this team of photographers have pulled together some incredible images
of Earth as you’ve never seen it before.
Looking more like works of art, the stunning aerial photographs have been captured using the Overview Effect.The term refers to the sensation astronauts have when they look down on Earth from space and see patterns in the natural and man-made world below.

No it’s not artwork, it’s Our Lady of Almudena Cemetary in Madrid, Spain.

Other less common patterns are the cubist effect of Barcelona’s streets and the cell-like patterns in some of Florida’s towns.

DigialGlobe already uses five satellites to collect the images and plans to launch a sixth one later this year.
“We plan to launch a sixth satellite on August 13 2014 which will enable accurate satellite imaging through haze, fog, dust, smoke and other air-born particulates,” said DigitalGlobe spokeswoman Abigail Van Uum.
So can you pick the landmarks from the patterns?
