Around the Solar System
- hugh3 16y agoA little too heavy on the Earth-Moon stuff (c'mon, you concentrate on pictures of Earth every fricking week) but nice nonetheless.
- xtacy 16y agoEverytime I see such pictures, it reminds me of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" video which reminds me of how tiny we really are.

- jeebusroxors 16y agoFor those in the US hulu should have the entire Cosmos series.
- sliverstorm 16y agoI find this one: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/09/around_the_solar_system.html#photo29 http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/09/around_the_solar_sy... The most striking. I cannot tell you why though.
- SamReidHughes 16y agoBeautiful. It's a shame the exposure in #3 makes the Moon appear so close to the Earth. At the time it was taken, the Moon was near the farthest apparent distance it could be. Someday there needs to be made a time-lapse video of the moon orbiting the Earth as the Earth moves against the stars, taken from above the ecliptic.
- jeebusroxors 16y agoI find it interesting how these pictures almost automatically bring up the topic of religion.
