Earth From Space
« on: June 30, 2011, 12:40:07 PM »
    A great slide-show of pictures of Earth from space.  I love the one of the Cumulonimbus over Africa.  Best picture of a storm like that I have ever seen.

    The Sarychev Volcano, #17, is a close runner up I think.

   Yeah, I thought that was cool too.  Even though I have seen numerous pictures of clouds and storms from space this perspective just seems to be totally different.  You can almost imagine yourself being there.

Found the Cumulonimbus over Africa picture on the NASA site.  I'm attaching it.
