Gotta love earth from space, on any scale. My favorite recent image is taken by Cassini in orbit around Saturn. In this image, Saturn has eclipsed the Sun. And in this view there's a four-pixel sized speck to the left of the ball, outside the ring, barely visible without a zoom. That's Earth. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Saturn_ec lipse.jpg all opinions expressed are mine and only mine. not to be attributed to the other IP address sharers, my employer, or any other human, animal, robot or alien. | ||

this freaked me out.. "All motion and all gravity distorts time. For high precision work, the full hammer of relativity needs to be invoked to get the right answers. GPS satellites, for example, invoke relativistic adjustments to their time-keeping, because of their high (and persistent) orbital speeds." all opinions expressed are mine and only mine. not to be attributed to the other IP address sharers, my employer, or any other human, animal, robot or alien. | ||
