small

This is a photograph (not one of mine!) of both the Earth and the Moon. Can you see them, just to the centre-lower-left of the picture? It was taken by the Messenger spacecraft that is heading towards the Sun.


It just shows how small and insignificant we are in this vast universe. When you hear politicians and the public bemoaning asylum seekers, the "send 'em all back" brigade, it would be interesting for them to open their petty little minds at this and see if anything humbling enters their near-empty heads after seeing such a grounding photograph?
