Description
This Earth HD DLC (addon) contains high-resolution textures of Earth. It improves level of detail of Earth’s surface compared to the default SpaceEngine installation. Credits: Based on surface and elevation maps by Robert Skuridin “PBC”, city lights map by John van Vliet and Sean Young “HarbingerDawn”, and clouds map by Vladimir Romanyuk “SpaceEngineer”. Source data: Elevation map: NASA SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission), GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) Image resolution: 86400×43200 (land areas, SRTM), 21600×10800 (ocean floor, GEBCO) Effective resolution: 0.46 km/pix (land areas, SRTM), 1.85 km/pix (ocean floor, GEBCO) Surface albedo map: NASA BMNG (Blue Marble Next Generation), GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) Image resolution: 86400×43200 (land areas, BMNG), 21600×10800 (ocean floor, GEBCO) Effective resolution: 0.46 km/pix (land areas, BMNG), 1.85 km/pix (ocean floor, GEBCO) Water mask is in the alpha channel of the textures. City lights map: NASA Earth Observatory Image resolution: 54000×27000 Effective resolution: 0.75 km/pix Clouds coverage map: NASA Blue Marble Image resolution: 43200×21600 Effective resolution: 0.93 km/pix
