A picture of Earth taken from Mars. " This is the first image ever taken of Earth from the surface of a planet beyond the Moon. The image is a mosaic of images taken by the rover's navigation camera showing a broad view of the sky, and an image taken by the rover's panoramic camera of Earth. The contrast in the panoramic camera image was increased two times to make Earth easier to see. The inset shows a combination of four panoramic camera images zoomed in on Earth. The arrow points to Earth. Earth was too faint to be detected in images taken with the panoramic camera's color filters. "
Browse around the main site if you have time. There are some phenomenal pics on there.

The more I think about it, the more it ties my mind into a reef knot.

Yeah.....whenever I encounter 'the wonders of the universe'(haha) I can't help but notice how insignificant I am. Hm....but on the flip side, it is us the little tiny creatures that eventually tie all things together.
I think I can see my house....
