There are a lot of satellites surrounding our planet, observing and imaging its surface. But some of the sharpest, most capable among them belong to Digital Globe. Now, the company has released 25 of their best shots of 2014 for you to judge.

Digital Globe's new flagship satellite, WorldView-3 was launched earlier this year with 30-cm resolution, the highest of any commercial satellite. The new orbiter, along with the rest of the company's fleet of Earth-observers, have been imaging erupting volcanoes, humanitarian crises, oil drilling, transportation, festivals, mining and striking landscapes.

They're all beautiful, interesting, or informative, and you get to choose which is best by voting on the company's Facebook or Twitter pages.
