Oh, you must mean except for this NASA website where they publish around 20 images every day of the full sunlit side of the earth in both natural and enhanced color?

EPIC uses multiple cameras to generate that image. The computer does the work. Everything you saw prior to epic, except one was computer generated. Try reading, instead of looking at pictures. That’s for toddlers

This is easily Joe Biden's greatest accomplishment, which is saying something. Obama? Drumpf? Enjoy looking at Hubble Pics, can't even zoom in on the moon with that ole space trash. I bet with the James Webb Space Telescope Biden can smell Uranus from across the solar system.

Webb was started long before Biden got into office. He really has nothing to do with it, like at all. He’s just sidling on this to look cool

Biden had the opening for an easy layup and fricked this up too. Almost an hour late with no explanation? The Reddit astrophysicists are pissed.

If you’re going to be late for the press conference at least announce what time you expect it to take place.

??? He was the president for when it launched and is the president for its first pictures. He's not "sliding" into anything you fricking mouth breather, he's just announcing the first picture like any other president would.

You're not a quarter as smart as you think you are

EPIC is a single CCD with an angular field of view larger than the earth. It is equipped with multiple physical filters for imaging different wavelengths. It also has computers for image processing, just like any imaging CCD.

0 for 2 and I'm done with you, clown

Right here genius. From nasa
This color image of Earth was taken by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope. The image was generated by combining three separate images to create a photographic-quality image. The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters -- from ultraviolet to near infrared -- to produce a variety of science products. The red, green and blue channel images are used in these color images.

The image was taken July 6, 2015, showing North and Central America. The central turquoise areas are shallow seas around the Caribbean islands. This Earth image shows the effects of sunlight scattered by air molecules, giving the image a characteristic bluish tint. The EPIC team is working to remove this atmospheric effect from subsequent images. Once the instrument begins regular data acquisition, EPIC will provide a daily series of Earth images allowing for the first time study of daily variations over the entire globe. These images, available 12 to 36 hours after they are acquired, will be posted to a dedicated web page by September 2015

I've apparently never seen a real picture from my cell phone either. Because, you know, it has 2 cameras working together and it processes the image via it's onboard processor.
