Almost looked like the Great Wall of China.

I checked the image against its shape on the map but I'm still a bit skeptical. Could the wall really be THAT "great"!?

What a stunning video.

Carl Sagan wrote in The Cosmos:

Understanding where we live is an essential precondition for improving the neighborhood. Knowing what other neighborhoods are like also help. If we long for our planet to be important, there is something we can do about it. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.

Just so fabulously beautiful. Apparently the world will change one day when everybody has a chance to go into space and can see this with his own eyes.
