Most amateur astronomers have seen Mars. A moderately sized telescope can show a bit of detail. Have you ever wondered, however, what Earth would look like from Mars? Kind of like this..

Earth from Mars
3 comments:
Great image.
I love pictures of the Earth from space; it as close as a 63 yr old will get to space flight.
Question, is that the Moon or one of Mar's moons? [top right]
The moon at the top right of the image is our own moon, Luna.
Great picture, views like that always drive home how small our corner of the universe really is.
Cool stuff!
