Even with all the negative happenings in our time, I wouldn't want to live in any other time period. Such magnificence in more ways than one. Best viewed in fullscreen.
I can’t think of anyone who would not be awed at this (without religion the awe is deeper because it is real). Yes, we live in a special time and the awareness we have today makes that even more special. For the first time we have access to understanding the natural forces around us. Too bad that is only appreciated by a few of us. I have this natural beauty all around me which makes me (and there are others as well) want to fight harder to preserve it. Geography
That was spectacular! When you see that thin layer of atmosphere which surrounds us and keeps the chaos out (or perhaps keeps ours contained within it), you realize how very fragile and precious this planet is. It also serves to remind us how petty and ridiculous are our politics, religions and, arbitrary border disputes.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Your so very right... I love my life and this time...
It's both beautiful and awe-inspiring. The majesty of just this one spec in this vast universe makes you wonder what else is beyond us. What will our species accomplish in future generations, and what indescribable beauty will their eyes be witness to in years to come. My joy comes from the knowledge that humanity is capable of so much more when we open ourselves to the pursuit of science.
I agree yet our breeding and greed and lack of respect for nature will take away yall these amazing possibilities.
we are on the cusp of greatness and our own downfall.
So beautiful. I loved the lightning storms!
I could even see where I grew up early on in the video.
@VictoriaNotes I've always wondered why brain cells and our universe look so similar.
Maybe our universe is a brain cell in another being, whose universe is in another being, and so on to infinity. Hmm. scratches chin
Is the time we live in. I saw woodstock generation for starters for me. Friends that attended. Walk in the moon, etc, etc, etc. Marijuana legal in many places... beyond my wildest dream when I was high at 13. And no, I don't touch it now... would had thought about me becoming such a square, barely drinking at all and nothing to do with religion. I simply don't need it. Great times we live in certainly. Great times. That's what Life.... our life is all about. Let's enjoy this Shindig, will ya?
Well, would you look at that! The Earth is a sphere!!!!
what? You mean as in round? Your teasing.
It's all in the angles they use when they film. It's part of the fairy tale. You can tell it's not the real Earth because it had green sunsets.
@Dick_Martin LOL
I just saw an advertisement for a Tee-shirt that has a picture of the globe and and it said "Member of the Round Earth Society" "Funny Times" Gift Hq.
