"Earth as Seen from Mars
5/31/05
On its 449th martian day, or sol (April 29, 2005), NASA's Mars rover Opportunity woke up approximately an hour after sunset and took this picture of the fading twilight as the stars began to come out. Set against the fading red glow of the sky, the pale dot near the center of the picture is not a star, but a planet -- Earth."

Cool Find!

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Yeah... So much about nothing in such a small volume...
Makes you wonder, right?

Some Martians depending on their religion are known to have a Terran calendar.

Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?

Yeah, but how many megapixels is that image? You think NASA gets better cameras than us?

It's unfortunate that the only publicly known interaction between Dr. Sagan and Apple went so badly. I tend to think there was a misunderstanding at the heart of the disagreement.
