    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....

    It is so very odd viewing Earth in the same manner in which we are accustomed to viewing Mars. AMAZING... yet odd.
