Our place in the Universe

Here's a recent photo from the Messenger satellite, sent in space to look for asteroids. This particular shot happened to catch the Earth and the Moon in it. That's us in the lower left corner. It's not a great photo of Earth, we don't quite look like the Great Blue Marble, but just seeing the Earth and the Moon from 150 million miles away really puts our place in the Universe in perspective for me. Very thought provoking. Hmmm.....
