These are the full resolution imagery available, at an impressive 500m per pixel I believe, and preprocessed for reasonably quick loading - shouldn’t be *that* much slower than GE’s built in imagery.

It was actually done in part to top what I did with the original 43200x21600 Blue Marble a few years ago, when I wasn't as good at programming, which was to scale it to one size. Now I scaled 36 86400x43200 images to 7 sizes with better resampling. :-) The size of everything is about 16.5 GB, not counting the space tiny water (solid color) files don't use in their file system block.
