Yes. I obtained the images from a NTs OMZ, a component of the Russian Space agency. As far as I know, they only use the images for weather forecasting. None of them had been published (despite how absolutely AMAZING they are), so I decided to do it myself. I have their permission to publish the images, and the videos are my own creation.
Today, I am publishing the highest-resolution image of Planet Earth, and the highest-resolution full disk movies of the Earth. This release is the result of curiosity, luck and hundred of hours of hard work. I’ll be posting these images and videos all of Earth Day. If you want to see them all together, check out my new web site; Planet—Earth.ca

An image of the Centaurus A galaxy in Microwave light, produced by the partially completed ALMA observatory. ALMA is the first observatory sensitive to light with millimeter wavelengths. The red and green colors in this image are a result of the Doppler effect created by the rotation of the galaxy.
