The two pictures below seemed nice enough to write a post about, so here goes.

Although pictures of the sun are nice, the earth makes a much better subject. So far we have only been lucky enough to snap shots of either the blackness of space, the sun or full frame shots of the earth’s surface. So it is with great pleasure that I present to you the two images below. These are our first two in which you can clearly see the curved horizon of the earth!
