Honestly, is there anything more beautiful than the Earth in the Cosmos?

[lxskllr]

but Africa is by far the most impressive continent. It destroys all others.

How so? It has some impressive animal life, but the climate eats shit. Also, much of the impressive animal life eats humans :^D

how is that not cool?

but no, it's simply big as hell. There are few world maps drawn to proper scale that really show how big Africa is. Most emphasize Europe (size fo a pea in reality) or NA.

Africa is a fucking monster. the cool thing about its climate is that it doesn't obey the rules that we would expect it to...

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Ummm... yes.

I guess I prefer climate diversity to flora/fauna diversity. I'd take North America or Europe to Africa.

Yes it's beautiful but a lot of that has to do with the conscious realization that that is our home. The blue spec of dust in the ocean of blackness on which all that we know on a day to day basis takes place. If we leave that aspect aside there are plenty of other places in the Universe just as beautiful if not much more so. Nebula, Super Nova Remnants, Galaxies etc etc.. all are astoundingly beautiful.

Ummm... yes.

I agree. Stuff "out there" is prettier. I can't wait until someone invents a Millenium Falcon so I can go exploring.

Also, our BEST pictures are of the earth. Get a similar quality one of saturn or jupiter and it'd be equally beautiful, imo

I'm sure there are fantastic sights to behold throughout the universe. Whether or not man will ever see them other than through a telescope is questionable.

 

[SlitheryDee]

It's pretty damn beautiful.

Wait until you see New Earth.

So Job was right when he said "He hangeth the earth upon nothing." Makes you wonder how Job could know that thousands of years B.C. God must have shared that tidbit with him.

 

[Arcadio]

I think Uranus is prettier.

EDIT: damn you amd'unter!!!!

No, he was wrong. See, gravity is the warping of spacetime. Obviously something is there to be warped. So empty space really isn't empty at all. Isn't science so much more interesting than fairytales?

It is indeed an amazing site.

Reminds me of a year or so ago when I got to go on a plane. It was sureal. Quite an awesome sight to be right above the clouds. now, THAT plane would be 10x as awesome! I would do it in a heart beat given the opportunity.

That would be so awesome! Man, I wish I could do that some day.

Is that one of the comic book universe rewrites?
