And I Say To Myself . . .

. . . What a Wonderful World.

We live on a marvelous marble, we Earthlings.

How beautiful is this?

NASA has released this high-resolution image of our planet,

taken by its most recent Earth-observing satellite.

Whether you believe that this beautiful orb was formed in a Big Bang, 

or molded by a Creator's hands, or fashioned by some

cosmic combination of means, I'm pretty sure

you can't look at this image and not be awestruck.

NASA has nicknamed this picture The Blue Marble 2012,

honoring the 1972 Blue Marble image of earth photographed by

the crew of Apollo 17, on their flight toward the moon:

Yes, Columbus.  Proof that the world really is round.

I am enthralled by this latest image of our complex and stunning

planet, and I just wanted to share it with you.

Have a wonderful week!  -- Cass
