Nice, thanks for sharing.

It's nice to be reminded how utterly small and insignificant we are in the scheme of things. It always helps to restore a sense of wonder.

For what it's worth if you enjoy this kind of thing I recommend checking out the new Cosmos series with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Here is a picture of home from orbit in the program.
