The image above was beamed back to Earth (as you can see, from not all that far away) some time last week, but I was too busy to post it at the time. This mysterious planet was photographed by our comet-chasing robot friend
Rosetta, who was borrowing a tiny bit of momentum from it.
I recommend viewing the high resolution version to appreciate the full beauty of that thin crescent of daylight at the bottom of the image.

Absolutely beautiful...
That is, officially, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! :)
Well, apparently you haven't seen naked gnomes...
oohh...I was fascinated by the National Geographic "earth at night" poster in the lab at work. This is much cooler...
Bad Gnome! Back in your box!
