wow it's so bright I wonder if it's touched up any. Those pictures freak me out I don't like thinking about the whole "spaceship earth" thing.

Pretty cool pictures. I'm a sucker for any pictures from space.

I think it's just for show. But the difference in photo quality is outstanding. Check out those crystal blue waters around the keys and other areas in the Caribbean.

Neat pictures, first thing I picked up on was the difference in clarity over the 1972 picture. That's to be expected though!
