NERC Earth Observation Data Centre
http://www.neodc.rl.ac.uk/The NERC Earth Observation Data Centre (NEODC) is a Designated Data Centre of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and as such it is tasked with the acquisition, archiving and provision of access to remotely sensed data of the surface of the Earth acquired by satellite and airborne sensors.
Our Earth as Art
http://earthasart.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.htmA wonderful collection of photographs of planet Earth taken by satellites circling the atmosphere.
The beguiling pictures are not of the familiar watery globe which usually represents our world. They are instead vast landscapes, deserts, oceans and mountain ranges, taken from afar so that they resemble artistic daubings and not familiar landmarks.
On the website you can search for images by continent, through clicking on an interactive map.
The images have been produced by NASA.
