Around the Solar System

Everytime I see such pictures, it reminds me of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" video which reminds me of how tiny we really are.

A little too heavy on the Earth-Moon stuff (c'mon, you concentrate on pictures of Earth every fricking week) but nice nonetheless.

Beautiful. It's a shame the exposure in #3 makes the Moon appear so close to the Earth. At the time it was taken, the Moon was near the farthest apparent distance it could be. Someday there needs to be made a time-lapse video of the moon orbiting the Earth as the Earth moves against the stars, taken from above the ecliptic.

I find it interesting how these pictures almost automatically bring up the topic of religion.
