Awe and the Edge

The Edge consistently has thought-provoking material, and today's issue is no exception. They offer two photos from Nasa's Cassini project, showing Saturn backlight by the sun. The first photo is simply beautiful; if it doesn't inspire a sense of awe, then I don't know what might.




The second photo reveals that earth is in that photo, in the region surrounded by Saturn's rings. Wow - what a view of home, sweet home!




Whatever you believe about how the earth was created, there is something amazing, remarkable, and beautiful about our planet and its neighbors.
