    Yep some of those moons are huge....."that's not a moon"


    In Porky's graphic it shows how big Saturn is when compared to Jupiter. Growing up I always envisioned Jupiter as dwarfing every other planet...which it pretty much does except in Saturn's case.

    That would be a very cool view to see in person.

    Earth as seen from the new Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). The image is the first to show the entire sunlit side of the Earth since astronauts on the Apollo 17 mission captured one of the most famous photographs ever taken in 1972. The photo is unstitched, unlike "full disk" weather satellite photos.

    I find photos like the one above a little unsettling when you can see where your city is

    Another thing that becomes apparent when they don't stitch photos is just how much of the Earth is covered in water and where the actual land masses sit. We're quite high up on the planet comparative to flat maps that show continents spread out horizontally in an even distribution from top to bottom.
