    Look at that, the northern lights! Gotta go to scandinavia or alaska to see them

    And the great lovecraftian darkness

    On another note, is there any archive footage of these NASA pictures of space with insane good quality?

      Yes! I think this and the original are available in full resolution. All NASA material published is public domain IIRC

    I wish next time they would take the picture with a Phase One instead of a Nikon D5.

    Our beloved bubble with microbiota.

    Our earth feels so beautiful from above. I hope that all of humans can try to even make it more beautiful and just try our best to remove so much unnecessary stress that we have/give to create a better future for this beautiful lucky planet we are all on, putting aside our differences.

    Making this the wallpaper of my device right now :)

      If we could send every politician as a prerequisite for the job, I think it would greatly benefit mankind. It would be far more difficult to make corrupt decisions after seeing our only inhabitable rock against that vast emptiness, or at least one would hope so.

      I'm always blown away by these photos. I'm sure this is even more spectacular in person. Good idea on the desktop background ;)

    Really incredible how apparent the atmosphere can be. I love that you can see both blue sky and northern lights inside the bubble.
