(WXYZ) - You haven't seen Earth like this before!
The highest-resolution photo ever taken of Earth shows a blue, bold and beautiful planet.
This stunning picture didn't come from NASA. It was actually captured by a Russian weather satellite, Electro-L.
The high-resolution picture is 121 megapixels, and differs from the photos of Earth taken by NASA. The new picture is one single shot, not a series of photographs pasted together, like NASA's "Blue Marble" shot.
Watch the time-lapse video of Earth using images taken by the Russian weather satellite.
