I remember visiting this website once...
It was called NASA satellite camera takes an ‘EPIC’ new fotografia of Earth - Science - Boston.com
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
The Deep Space Climate Observatory spacecraft (DSCOVR) undergoing light tests on the solar arrays in Titusville, Fla., near Kennedy Space Center, in 2014. The spacecraft will observe Earth, but its primary objective will be to monitor outbursts from the sun that could disrupt communications and power back on Earth.
We’re all pretty sure we know what Earth looks like—we live here, after all. But from space, we gain an entirely different perspective.
The image we have in our heads of our little blue planet in outer space is based off of one famous photograph: the “Blue Marble,” which was taken by Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972.
Now, the Deep Space Climate Observatory, or DSCOVR for short, will provide all of us stuck down here with pictures from way up there.
This is its first view of the entire sunlit side of Earth, snapped from one million miles away. This image shows North and Central America, and was taken with Nasa’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Cameral—literally EPIC—and is the result of three combined images, according to NASA.
Photos from NASA’s recent Pluto flyby
An image of Pluto from the New Horizons spacecraft. On Friday, July 17, 2015, scientists said they found vast frozen plains spanning a couple hundred miles in the heart-shaped area of Pluto, next door to its big, rugged mountains of water ice.
A model of the New Horizons spacecraft that passed with 7,800 miles of Pluto on display at a NASA news conference July 15, 2015. The 1,050-pound piano sized probe was launched January 19, 2006 aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
A newly discovered mountain range lying near the southwestern margin of Pluto\'s Tombaugh Region, situated between bright, icy plains and dark, heavily-cratered terrain is shown in this image acquired by New Horizons\' Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on July 14, 2015 from a distance of 48,000 miles and sent back to Earth on July 20, 2015.
A photo taken by NASA\'s New Horizons spacecraft of Charon, Pluto\'s largest moon, and its dark patch, informally called Mordor.
This photo of Charon includes a close up view of a depression with a peak, at right.

A large craterless plain on Pluto called Sputnik Planum can be seen in this NASA photo.The features might be signs of convection, caused by heat within the planet, or might be comparable to mud cracks, caused by the contraction of the surface.
