What would a 25km resolution of earth look like
- holoduke 4mo agoEnough to see cities
- 27183 4mo agoA more cautious civilization might take measures to prevent emissions. There's potentially great value in remaining unnoticed.

- mikepurvis 4mo agoEarth is 12700 km in diameter, so such an image would be 688 pixels across. Basically you won't be reading license plates but you'd see enough to identify evidence of very large scale construction, and with multiple images over time I bet you could draw even more conclusions.
- escapecharacter 4mo agoWe could make a license plate big enough that aliens could see it and know we are sophisticated.
- JorgeGT 4mo agoThis is the Earth last Wednesday at 0.25º resolution (roughly 28 km per pixel at the equator): https://neo.gsfc.nasa.gov/servlet/RenderData?si=2050444&cs=rgb&format=JPEG&width=1440&height=720 https://neo.gsfc.nasa.gov/servlet/RenderData?si=2050444&cs=r...

- nradov 4mo agoWhat a shame. I had expected the Earth to last a bit longer.
- JorgeGT 4mo agoYeah, it seems it's not permanent. You can go here: https://neo.gsfc.nasa.gov/view.php?datasetId=VIIRS_543D&date=2026-06-30 https://neo.gsfc.nasa.gov/view.php?datasetId=VIIRS_543D&date... and then click on the right side "0.25 degrees 1440 x 720".

- singingtoday 4mo agoThat's phenomenal. This would bring us so much fascinating information.
- deadbabe 4mo agoNo matter how fascinating, some will be underwhelmed by images of cities on exoplanets.
- kazinator 4mo agoDonald Trump's ego would show up as just one pixel.
