Here's an astronomy image of planet Earth. If you look really close, you may see thousands of Earthlings dancing...

HEY! Zoom in a bit, I think I see someone getting shot by a criminal in Chicago, IL.

Mind you, it's not always pretty.

Well, when I was a young un we danced differently, and boys and girls actually touched each other!

Whoever owns the site “Astronomy Picture of the Day” is just hosting a video produced by this guy Matt who started out using his own money to travel around the world dancing with people. It is not sponsored NASA. He now gets some financing from some gum company. It does have something to do with the Planet Earth and the various people and cultures who occupy it.

Yes, well, I have this to say about that.

We the taxpayers own Astronomy Picture of the Day.

I’ll take your word for it that Matt used his own money to travel to Afghanistan.

Thanks again Red_Devil 232.

And if you zoom in on the extreme Northern & Southern Hemispheres, you may also note the disparate Pole Dancers-

Keep it to yourself.

I was ready to diss this as not APOD, but I found it incredibly moving.

May God not destroy freedom and joy from Earth, that is my prayer.
