For Walter:
"The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth hosts the best and most =
complete online collection of astronaut photographs of the Earth.
Beginning with the Mercury missions in the early 1960s, astronauts have =
taken photographs of the Earth. Our database tracks the locations, =
supporting data, and digital images for these photographs. We process =
images coming down from the Space Shuttle and International Space =
Station on a daily basis and add them to the more than 561,898 views of =
the Earth already made accessible on our website. These images include =
122,183 from the International Space Station.
British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle stated, "Once a photograph of the =
Earth, taken from outside, is available - once the sheer isolation of =
the Earth becomes known - a new idea as powerful as any in history will =
be let loose."
