That shot of Earth is a good reminder of the insignificance of man on the permanence of time....
Woof!
Woof!
Yeah, I missed it initially on the full image but it is there.
The photo showing the International Space Station and the shuttle against the sun is pretty impressive as well.
From my home planet we can't even see your solar system. It's way over the curvature of the electromagnetic spectrum....too far to see.
We have doubts than any viable life form can continue to occupy that space-time given the nature of the indigenous species.

It's true. Even the light from the sun left the sun 8 minutes ago.
If you have a decent telescope, and you can find the Crab Nebula, the light from the Crab Nebula took 4,000 years to get here.
The light from Andromeda took about two million years.
Andromeda could have blown up 6 months ago and we wouldn't know it for two million years or, it could have blown up 1,999,999 years ago and we will see it wink out of existence sometime this year

This is probably one of my favourite pictures... I had it as my background for over a month... which is quite long for me
