1. Man Tokyo is fully terra formed

2. The mother of all r/japanpics

3. what do the brown sections signify?

4. So beautiful!

5. Sakurajima be smoking

6. I thought this was a Plague inc screenshot for second

7. Excuse me I didn’t consent to have my photo taken. I look horrible in this shot! /s

8. I’m in this picture. Not sure if you can see me. Over towards the right side just above the center of the picture. Look for the gaijin with the red moustache and bald spot.

9. Man I know it’s a well-known fact but Tokyo really is humongous. It really is mind-boggling as someone from a tiny island nation

10. 3 colors: grass, rock and concrete XD

11. I have to admit, I thought this was fudged a bit. I assumed there would be more definition in city areas like Tokyo, instead of just being a blob, but after looking at other photos they all look the same.

    For a place that is as large as Tokyo, from space it just looks like a desert. A concrete desert.

12. Doesn’t show the new island 😉

13. It looks like snow, but it’s just concrete

14. Tohoku: “am i a joke to you?”

15. Which sensor did they use? Sentinel 2, 3 or something new ?
