The great APOD website from NASA has been busy in my absence online.

The Pale Blue Dot
"We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam." - Carl Sagan, 11th February 1996

Some nice suggestions there. Well remembered on Capricorn 1 lol. But this craft DID get into space lol
The city is Hong Kong, and its showing an eclipse shadow bouncing of the all double glazing :)
And is it considered sad to know Star Trek nebulas by heart? ;)Kahhhhnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!
And Iapetus is not a loaf of bread, but a rather pretty moon around Saturn :p
It could be considered sadder that I had to look up the name of the Nebula on Google because I'd forgotten it. At one time, I could recite Khan's memorable - "He tasks me..." speech by heart. I'm slipping :o
The last picture....wow. A butterfly!!!
