Last Friday the Cassini space probe was looking back to Earth.
The view not very spectacular, but still a good lesson about relativity of all things.

Heh. Phil Plait just shared this picture and caption at his blog... and it's pretty moving.

Michael Collins is the only human being, living or dead, not in the frame of this picture.

Stuff like this always boggles my mind.

As long as I don't think about it all too hard I am ok - problem is that I am fascinated by it!

Aaaaaaand relax.

No this can't be right, the sun has to fill the screen and be so damn bright you can't see anything! Eve is real right?

All of that stupidity, prejudiced and mindless suffering on such a tiny dot in space. You would never think it just by looking at it. (wipes an inspired tear from eye)

"caught on fire a little bit, just a little."

"Delinquents, check, weirdos, check, hippies, check, pillheads, check, freaks, check, potheads, check .....gangs all here!"

I love Science, it gives me a Hadron.
