Rosetta's View of Earth

ssbljk writes "Rosetta has been mentioned a few times on Slashdot during last 365 days. Last time it was on August 4th when she took images of the Earth and Moon from a distance of 70 million kilometers. Now, she came back to fly by Earth again and recorded a series of black-and-white images of our home planet from distance of 1954km."

God bless

South American weather... Chile and Argentina look really nice.

Too many clouds

Cloudy. You sure that isn't Venus? Or won't be in a few thousand years?

Black and White

It always surprises me how different things look in black and white photography. We are so used to seeing Earth in color that seeing it only in tonal variation is almost shocking. I suspect that some of what looks like cloud would come across very differently in color.

How stunningly beautiful these shots are.

Very true, very true. It really is an amazing thing to see, our beautiful planet. Makes me wish that much more that I could be up there to see for myself. Ah well, someday. I can hope, can't I?

I don't know about you, but it looks pretty burnt black to me... *grin/innocent look*
