You want to see the highest resolution of our planet? View the 121-Megapixel of Earth, taken by a Russian satellite, here at GigaPan: http://gigapan.com/gigapans/18a9bfb554160e6f97536f120f910798
Here's a video of the planet's North Hemisphere in high-res, taken by the same satellite:
Planet Earth's Northern Hemisphere
A time-lapse of Planet Earth, created from images produced by the geostationary Electro-L Weather Satellite. The images were obtained beginning on May 14th, and end on May 20th, 2011. The images are the largest whole disk images of our planet, each image is 121 megapixels, and the resolution is 1 kilometer per pixel. They are taken every half hour, and have been interpolated (smoothed) to create this video. The images are taken in four different wavelengths of light, three visible, and one infrared. The infrared light appears orange in these images, and shows vegetation.
