Wow, that's some crisp imagery o:

@wonderofscience That's a lot of water, and it's just the top of it. (Something a friend once said on a boat that I never forgot)

@wonderofscience It is a marvel of technology... hope the boaters got plenty of sunscreen on 😎

@wonderofscience strong urge to polish the dust off that big marble

@wonderofscience Or as the flatearthers would say: that's a seriously good lightbulb you got hanging there.

@FleurB75 @wonderofscience Are flat earthers actually as common as people on the internet say they are or are they just a really easy target for taking the piss

@wonderofscience It's hard to understand how any human with a functioning intelligence can see the 21st century images revealing the reality of our precious home planet and fail to protect it with all their power.

@wonderofscience

It appears like a glass globe and it could so easily shatter.

@wonderofscience he isn’t a bad person, just misguided! There’s nothing we can do about that , unfortunately 🤷🏽‍♀️

@wonderofscience wow so beautiful - can I get that as a screensaver or desktop background?
