Anybody know where I can get photo's of Earth suitible for making a globe? Actually I have some good textures of the planets for making globes. There's a freebie texture pack I picked up somewhere. But I wanted to look for some of weather patterns for an atmosphere with clouds.

I know you need a specific type of picture, but don't know what it's called or where to look. Any suggestions?

www.nasa.gov and a few sites off Google are a good start. That's what I did when I made my mini solar system.

Here's one of the other sites I used:

And here's another I just found:
