When you look at that, from a certain perspective, thinking about it, with all the other stars and planets, it kind of blows the mind, that there even IS such a planet like this, and then I look around and realize that we like LIVE here, can walk around, breath the air, go for a swim - it's an incredibly miraculous thing, not to be taken for granted I don't think.
stAr for you !! Why arent there any stars? Watch the movie MoonRising, every picture of our planet from space doesn't have any stars in it. WTF
ISS011-E-12415 (31 August 2005) --- Aurora Borealis and lights in Finland, Russia, Estonia and Latvia are featured in this digital still picture taken by the Expedition 11 crew aboard the International Space Station. If it were daylight parts of the Eastern Baltic Sea would be visible. The station was over a point on Earth located at 50.6 degrees north latitude and 15.1 degees east longitude at the time. The cluster of stars to the lower right of the thin crescent Moon is the Praesepe or Beehive Cluster in Cancer. Just to the right of that is the planet Saturn. Photo credit: NASA
