Before I move on in my blog writing, I felt to show you some pictures offered free on the internet by Nasa. They are of course our planet, taken from space.
It is such a beautiful world that we need to protect. How tiny is this world in the scheme of things. How perfect was the size of the moon, captured into orbit around our planet for the "lesser light" at night, and for the movement of the tides. And one of my favourites, the Earth Rise from the moon. I will never forget seeing this for the first time in the late 1960's when men first landed there. Finally, "The Pale Blue Dot" - it is a remarkable story of one man's decision to take one more photo of Earth from the Voyager mission - on the edge of our solar system. How a pale blue dot was caught in a ray of light .... and it was us!
