I thought some of you guys might enjoy this picture, I think it'd make a great desktop:

you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods,
you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts

You know, I get pretty depressed and down on life sometimes, getting bogged down with the everyday minutia of human life on Earth. But images like this always instill a level of hope in my soul.

I've seen one of these myself in Washington. It was pretty cool. Wish I had a picture of that one.

Great pic, I was hoping to snap a few pictures of the eclipse, I had my trip ready and my 300mm lens on the camera but the weather did not cooperate - cloudy

You win some you lose some.

Same here. My new wallpaper and added to my not-so-massive collection of outer space pics. Thanks Pigeon.
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.

No, I very well did.

I didn't know about the moon glowing red during a lunar eclipse though.
