Image of the Day

What a solar eclipse looks like from space. Note in the bottom photo how the shadow cast on Earth by the eclipse plunges that region into darkness while the rest of the planet remains bathed in sunlight.

Looks almost like a fake, beautiful.... we are nothing in this great universe...
