The crescent has long been a Muslim symbol....I hope this photo isn’t a sign of things to come.

I wonder if Earth looks a lot different now that Global Warming is going to destroy it?

“Wow, what happened to the other three-fourths of the earth?”

Muslims took it over, hence a return to the “dark” ages.

Crescent world, largely in darkness...
Somehow depressing in today’s political perspective.

It’s amazing to me that the nuts think WE can be destroying this planet with car emissions and deodorant...

“And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid ... And the angel said unto them, “Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings o great joy, which shall be to all my people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord.”

“And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, “Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men.”

“That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.” - Linus Van Pelt

The Earth is flat. Just ask Al Gore. He is after another Nobel Prize for proving the Earth is flat.

A clear indication of green house gas increases. In the 1960’s Star Trek pictures of Earth, there were no clouds at all. Now there everywhere.

Apollo for was the first launch of the Saturn V, and was unmanned. One of the tests was to simulate reentry from a translunar orbit. The picture was probably taken near apogee.
