Our Planet



Taken 34 years ago by the crew on Appolo 17, this image of our planet is still timelessly beautiful. It reminds me of Galileo(1564-1642) who proposed the Earth, among other planets, rotates and orbits around the Sun (and therefore implied it was not flat), and got condemned to lifelong imprisonment by the Church at the time (but he was too old, too ill and famous so house arrest it was)...
