What a beauty.

[THE True Lara]

beautiful!
It's always so humbling to see our tiny planet out in the void like that. -the way the rest of the universe sees us. (?)
incredible.
Cheers for the link! :)

WOW..it looks so empty...!

Can't believe there is so much going on on this planet....yet it looks so calm.....

Maybe when I'm stressed I'll come and take another look at it ......just to remind me.

That's the face of the one you love who waits for your return home after a long journey away....

Yes, and how rare and precious she is, too. How irreplacable.
You space kitten, you.
Well, sorta, yeah.... Too bad....nm.

Nope. Only Martians. And John Carter.
To the rest of the universe we look even smaller and more insignificant.
But that also means they can't see our beauty as well.
Wonderful piccy!

wow! great link cat :)

[mulder]

Hey look....a world without any borders ! Just Imagine...


Great link Cat! Thanks...

[John Carter]

Ah yes, I can just about make out that cave in Arizona from here...

When visiting the north of the UK in the lakes, we spent one day further north near the border at Hadrian's wall, and looking south, you could see the Cumbrain mountains. It looked so unreal seeing them from the north instead of from the south where we usually see them approaching the lake district, just as this new view of Earth depicts. :)

[John Carter]

Interesting thought, dhama. I suspect to the Picts that northern viewpoint was the usual one (and those who live north of it today).

It is instructive to note that for those things we see in different and novel lights, others may see the same things in those lights all the time, and it is our standard viewpoints they might find unreal. It is good to go north of the wall and see it both ways from time to time. :)

Is it just me, or did they take out all the star?

Catsuit - as you know, I get those NASA pics too...

It's really cool to see the blue planet from afar, you can imagine future travelers seeing this, and saying we're almost back home now...

[Exitium]

Future Travelers? I thought the Terran governments were going to lob eachother with their nuclear missles and be forced to live a nuclear-winter inside giant domes while radioactive cockroaches terrorized the outside world. But that's just me.

Pity the Hubble didn't orbit Mars instead, I found the photo kind of fuzzy. And as for life, there is life outside Earth. Some form of primitive single celled organisms live atop the Venusian clouds, and it is almost certain that there are at least aquatic invertabrate species of alien on the Jovian moon of Europa. Outside our Solar System, however, we can only guess that the systems of Alpha Centauri and Bernard's Star contain a planet at all. Many people may say life is fragile and can only exist in Earth like conditions, although many others say that we are fragile and life exists in unusually simple and powerful forms. Like Archaebacteria for example.
