View of Earth from Saturn

Post by _larryfulkerson »

I just thought, for food for thought, that maybe you guys might like to know what Earth looks like from Saturn. Earth is the light blue dot to the upper left of the rings in the picture. A blow-up of the dot is that image to the far upper left.

I feel insignificant. I'm now in favor of a preemptive strike against Saturn. A few ICBMs should cool their smugness and give the military something to do with surplus Cold War weapons.

If Bush's advisors thought it would help his ratings, they might generate a CIA report about WMD on Saturn. Prehaps they could report that Bin Laden has been sighted there.

Perspective

Kind of puts it all in perspective, doesn't it?

Well, it least it does for me ... :-)
