Earth from DSCOVR

Earth from space: the latest full-disk photos

NASA’s EPIC camera, aboard NOAA’s DSCOVR satellite near the Sun–Earth L1 point, took 13 natural-color images of the sunlit side of Earth on October 25, 2026. EPIC images usually appear online a day or more after they are taken, so the newest set can lag behind today’s date.

About EPIC and DSCOVR

EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) is a NASA instrument on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), a NOAA satellite launched in 2015. From its orbit around the L1 point between Earth and the Sun, it sees the entire sunlit face of the planet at once. The natural-color images combine three of the camera’s color channels.

In the saved set for October 25, 2026, the first image was taken at Oct 25, 2026, 12:59 AM UTC and the last at Oct 25, 2026, 10:36 PM UTC. The longitude at the center of each image moves west through the day as Earth rotates.
