    A look back at Earth

    Bit of a geek moment here. The pic below that NASA just posted at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA17936 is, to me, one of those truly evocative images - one of our exploration robots looking back at sunset across the horizon of the mountains of Mars toward its home planet of Earth.....Wow....

    Thanks for posting the photo, Barb.

    Maybe it would make a good cover for the new travel magazine,.....Universal Living.
