Google LatLong Blog reports the addition of NASA Layer in Google Earth. The NASA Layer has 3 components 1)Astronaut Photography of Earth 2)Satellite Imagery 3)Earth City Lights.

Here are some of the stunning images I found on Google Earth (with NASA Layer selected - which can be found under Featured Content)

Astronaut Photography Layer:
