Images used in these projects are as follows.

Conversions and/or modifications to original files were performed by Jody Krivohlavek

Earth-1k-Clouds.jpg
Earth-2k-Clouds.jpg
Earth-4k-Clouds.jpg
Earth-8k-Clouds.jpg

These cloud maps were resized from the cloud_combined_8192.tif image from NASA's Earth
Observatory and are used for transparancy and displacment mapping.

Earth-1k-Color-XX.jpg (XX denotes the month of the year)
Earth-2k-Color-XX.jpg
Earth-4k-Color-XX.jpg
Earth-8k-Color-XX.jpg

The ocean and ice part of the land_ocean_ice_8192.tif image was masked and combined with
land from the flat Next Generation Blue Marble images to get these combined ocean texture
and land color images.

Earth-1k-Disp.jpg
Earth-2k-Disp.jpg
Earth-4k-Disp.jpg
Earth-8k-Disp.jpg

These displacment maps were resized from the srtm_ramp2.world.21600x10800.jpg image from
NASA's Earth Observatory site.

Earth-1k-Lights.jpg
Earth-2k-Lights.jpg
Earth-4k-Lights.jpg
Earth-8k-Lights.jpg

These light maps were resized from the earthlights.gif image from NASA's Visible Earth site.
These maps are used as an ambiance map for a very subtle night side city lights effect.

Earth-1k-Specular.jpg
Earth-2k-Specular.jpg
Earth-4k-Specular.jpg
Earth-8k-Specular.jpg

These specular maps were resized from the gebco_bathy.21601x10801.jpg image from NASA's Earth
Observatory and then editing the pallet of the image down to 2 colors. The Great Lakes and
other large inland water bodies were also added.
