I don't know.

sooo little

I'm ashamed to say it... but... I never even thought about how the earth would look from other planets. I've thought about us as a twinkling light in space, but not as a planet. Very odd. :crazy:

:ufo:

Woah...that's awesome. :eek:

Check this out. I don't know what it is, but it's in space somewhere. I'm real scientific, huh? :D

Here's the site...

When I first looked at it, I wasn't even sure if it was real. It's so pretty. :biglove: Anyway, I think it's called the Eagle Pillars. :nod:

I should do the same. :D These pics are awesome.

Yeah, I love Hubble (and similar) photos. My current avatar is from Hubble. It's Uranus, my ruling planet (Aquarius).

A brief explanation, from http://www.harpercollins.com/authorintro/catalog/book_xml.asp?isbn=006019992X :
"Each of us is born under a specific Ruling Planet. Your Ruling Planet is your celestial guide, helping you to navigate your way through life and relationships. Unlike zodiac signs, which are static, planets are in constant motion, changing as you change."

They are determined by your astrological sign. A list is below. A few have two planets listed. This is because when they first started associating planets with zodiac signs, science had not yet discovered the three planets furthest away from the sun (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto). The first planet listed is the more newly discovered one; the second is the older choice.

Aries - March 21 to April 20 - Mars
Taurus - April 21 to May 20, 21 - Venus
Gemini - May 21, 22 to June 21 - Mercury
Cancer - June 22 to July 22 - Moon
Leo - July 23 to August 22, 23 - Sun
Virgo - August 23, 24 to September 22, 23 - Mercury
Libra - September 23, 24 to October 22, 23 - Venus
Scorpio - October 23, 24 to November 22 - Pluto / Mars
Sagittarius - November 23 to December 21, 23 - Jupiter
Capricorn - December 22, 24 to January 20 - Saturn
Aquarius - January 21 to February 19 - Uranus / Saturn
Pisces - February 20 to March 20 - Neptune / Jupiter

Those pictures are awesome. The earth is so tiny in that first one. :eek: Just makes you think how small we are and how big everything out there is. Scary...

:woohoo: I'm Mercury! :yippee:

All these pics make me feel all insignificant... but I am anyway, so... ;)
