YOu can learn more about each scene on Kien lam’s website.
17 Countries. 343 Days. 6237 Photographs. One incredible journey.

NASA’s Astounding Photo of Earth as It Hangs in Space, See the Earth as it Truly Is
Posted by mistergroonk in Just Freaking Neat, Photography, Space on January 26, 2012
This photo of the world as stitched together from NASA’s weather satellite Suomi NPP is the very definition of amazing. We can’t stress enough how much you need to follow this link to the high definition image on NASA Flickr.
Download and have a look at our world, standing alone, in the black.
Because we could not leave well enough alone, and perhaps this image stirred a bit of our poetic spirit, we found a website of Space Quotations devoted specifically to the big blue marble that is Earth.
To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves a riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold—brothers who know now they are truly brothers.
— Archibald MacLeish, American poet, ‘Riders on earth together, Brothers in eternal cold,’ front page of the New York Times, Christmas Day, 25 December 1968

Posted by mistergroonk in Photography, Science, USA, Video on September 2, 2011
In the early days of August, Huntsville was witness to a fantastic lightning show. We attempted to take video but our phone is on its last legs after an unfortunate incident regarding a washing machine. It took some small doing but we found others who captured the phenomenon(in photograph and on video) and shared with the world at large.
Below the jump is a pilot’s video(markopenguin) of the skies filled with lightning attacks.
Juno Photographs Earth and the Moon from 6 Million Miles Away, Puts Life in Perspective
Posted by mistergroonk in Photography, Space on September 1, 2011
The Juno spacecraft took the new photo on Aug. 26 as part of a test of its camera imaging system called JunoCam. The result: a parting shot of the Earth-moon system as the probe sails on its five-year trip to Jupiter.
“This is a remarkable sight people get to see all too rarely,” said Juno principal investigator Scott Bolton, of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, in a statement. “This view of our planet shows how Earth looks from the outside, illustrating a special perspective of our role and place in the universe. We see a humbling yet beautiful view of ourselves.“
