Good morning! There are only a few sites that I make a point to visit every single day and APOD (astronomy picture of the day) is one of them. As a kid I wanted to be an astronaut and if it weren't for the whole claustrophobia and air sickness thing, I'd be wearing a Nasa blue jumpsuit as a work uniform. Unfortunately, I am not an astronaut so apod is as close as I get to space. (this is an old apod of night sky over Flagstaff, AZ).


Today's apod is very different. Very, very different. But wonderful nonetheless. Check it out. It'll make you smile. It actually brought tears to my eyes as I watched. What a wonderful reminder of how small and amazing the earth really is.


Have a great day!

Great video to brighten the day. Kind of reminds us that we are more alike than different.

Nifty! I'm blog surfing while watching the TDF. Several crashes on today's first descent. Going down these mountains at their speed would scare the bejesus out of me! :)

My husband has had some of his images on APOD (he's an astrophysicist) ... the one you put on your blog is lovely.

I spent one glorious summer in Flagstaff, I'm very fond of the place!

Happy Sunday!  I am sitting here working on my sweater made with the cashmere yarn my husband gave me for my birthday last year. I’m further...
