People are infinitesimally small when viewed from outer space. And some of us probably see ourselves as worthless specks of dust clogging up planet Earth.

But there's no doubt that we're the most important creatures on this planet. NASA seems to share this opinion and has acknowledged humankind's primacy by creating the "Mother of All Selfies."

What NASA created is a breathtaking, first-of-a-kind "Global Selfie" you've just got to see to believe.

Head over to http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/2014-globalselfie-wrap-up/#.U4EMb_mSw8l and you'll see what looks to be two bad and grainy photos of the Earth placed side-by-side.

Increase the image magnification by turning-up the slide on the upper left hand side of the image. What will be revealed to you are 36,422 individual images of persons from 113 countries in various selfies poses.

Many of these people are holding up pieces of paper with the message, "Where are you on Earth Right Now?"

Your reaction to this discovery will probably be, "Wow!"

The Global Selfie was made to honor Earth Day last April 22. NASA asked people all around the world the question, "Where are you on Earth Right Now?"

The US space agency asked people to answer the question with selfies they'd have to post on the social media site of their choice. The project's goal was to use each picture as a pixel to create a "Global Selfie" or a mosaic image that would look like the Earth as seen from outer space.

NASA has just finished the project and the product is now online. The Global Selfie image was tagged #globalselfie.

The image was assembled by NASA after weeks of sifting through more than 50,000 #globalselfie submissions from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google+ and Flickr.

The Global Selfie mosaic is all of 3.2 gigapixels and is hosted by GigaPan, a company that produces "gigapans" or gigapixel panoramas whose digital images consist of billions of pixels. The Gigapan website is at http://www.gigapan.com

The Global Selfie is based on images of each hemisphere taken from space last April by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite instrument on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite.
