Of course anything that includes a reference to Kansas (sans "those dumb hicks") is cool!

Looking at the photo of sunset on mars felt strange.

I think I'll have another look.

I'd kill for a 1600px or bigger version of that sunset photo. That image gives me goosbumps.

This one of the top of the atmosphere is unreal.

New desktop material! Nice find. I'll also second Anything's comment.
I've noticed that a lot of the picture captions would make good song titles too. I can see someone like Brian Eno composing something titled "Cloud Streets in the Bering Sea", "Dust over the Canary Islands", or "The East Pacific Rise from Near and Far".
also, looking at all the satellite pics, i feel very small now.

The sunset was amazing--I've never seen a picture which made me actually think I knew what it was like to be on mars. Which is cold, and lonely.
