Data Set Abstract This data set set contains version 1.0 of calibrated narrow band filter images (350-950 nm) of Earth acquired by the Deep Impact High Resolution Visible CCD during the EPOCh phase of the EPOXI mission. Three sets of observations were acquired on 18-19 March, 28-29 May, and 4-5 June 2008 to characterize Earth as an analog for extrasolar planets. Each observing period lasted approximately 24 hours. HRIV images were acquired once per hour with the filters centered on 350, 750 and 950 nm, whereas the 450-, 550-, 650-, and 850-nm data were taken every 15 minutes. During the observing period in May, the Moon transited across Earth as seen from the spacecraft. Additional Earth observations are planned for the mission, and these data will be added to a future version of this data set.
