The Spring Equinox from space ...
At 745am today, right after astronomical spring, NOAA’s GOES-13 satellite acquired this beautiful view of Earth. (The sun was actually superimposed on this image)

Also a video that shows one year of the Earth and the changing shadow:

Very cool, thanks.

We never really sent a probe to Mars. It's all taking place on a soundless stage in Huston for the express purpose of making the Russians jealous.

Exploration never gets old...

Though I understand they want to supply desktop images, I prefer getting rid of the black bars...

Really? Wow ... I think the camera has a fisheye lens on it so that kind of distorts the horizon a bit. 70K is just above Concorde and SST and the sky does look that deep blue. So at 100 it's probably almost black.

71,500 or so. And isn't he shooting for 120k?

One of my "want to"s is to go up into the 70-80K ft range so you can see the curvature of the planet. I've been to 50K and that's cool, but still no curve.

You could try squinting. Or I could lend you Charlie to poke you in the eye at the right moment.
