Here is the video of the Earth, the stars and space taken by astronaut Don Petit and spliced together foryour pleasure by Alex Rivest.

Excuse the coding you see. This is the first time an embedded video has been permitted on this site by Mike. We will work out the niggly bits!

Please sit back and enjoy this truly amazing video.

Yes that is the very thin protective layer that provides the entire human race on Earth the oxygen we need to stay alive and the protection we need from the sun's harmful rays.

Makes you think doesn't it?
