Hanta Yo:

Thanks so much for posting...simply beautiful. I am curious as to which picture was which celestial body...astronomy was a few years ago for me!

Ms Sage...you should show this to your kids...might make them want to "aim for the stars." I know if I were their age it would certainly peak my interest in science.

Cheers--

TTB Wink

It is hard to grasp such beautiful colors existing out where
lowly man hasn't seen them until now.
Thank you for posting, Hanta. It was humbling and ....well.......glorious!

Also, did some of those swirly pictures remind you of pieces of polished rocks like quartz? They look sort of like a frozen universe inside.

Or do I have rocks in my head? Rolling Eyes

Yup, that definatley proves it. God is the best at creating beauty!

Did you guys see all the "little green men" and all the different kinds of space craft? Way cool, dude!

Thanks Hanta, makes me feel pretty small and humble. Embarassed

Awesome Shocked Thanks.

Here is another site where you can view the earth from different satellites.
Some will be black so you have to check different ones. (shouldn't take much download time)

if ya wanna check out something a little "creepy" then download googleearth.com Shocked !!! You can scan in so darned close that you can see the vehicles parked in a drive way and i was able to count the raspberry bushes in a friend's yard!! Pretty cool though, as you can zoom in on anyplace you type into the search!!

I tried it and it's really cool, but I can't get it to clear up, when I get down close. I checked out the town in Switzerland where I was born and also the part of the sandhills where Soapweed and Saddle Tramp and Peach Blossom live. Waaay cool! Thanks ranchwife! Very Happy

Maybe they wouldn't let me look to close where I live as we used to have missle silo's. I could sure get a pretty good look at the Air Base near Rapid City.

Any idea when this view was created, ranchwife?
