You Are Here

That would be a good name for a blog, wouldn't it? But the thing I want to point out is this amazing image at today's APOD: (Click over for full explanation; click the pic there for full-sized gloriosity) Yes indeedy! You are Here!

"But wait," I hear you plaintively complain, "Earth doesn't have rings! Isn't that Saturn?"

"Well, yes," I reply. "But look closer."
See that little blue dot above and to the left of the rings? That little spot of sweetness? All our troubles, yes, but also all of our hopes, dreams and desires nestle in that little tiny blob of pixels.

You are here.

I'm glad I'm there instead of on Uranus.
