intelligence to us is like teeth to a tiger.

Reddit user GrahamSaysNO accidentally left his camera exposing while taking a photo of M42. Looks kinda awesome.

When we think of our globe from a distance, we generally visualize two colors: blue and green. Water and land. Mostly water, consequently, our planet’s nickname of the blue marble.

Traveling around the globe every 90 minutes covering millions of miles with a focused lens on our beautiful planet from 250 miles above, I’ve captured many beautiful colors beyond blue and green that showcase Earth in new and interesting ways. Some colors are indicative of nature like desert sands and weather like snow. Other colors tell stories of Earth’s climate in bright splashes of yellows and greens of pollen and muted grey tones and clouded filters of pollution.

Blue and green still remain vivid and beautiful colors on Earth from the vantage point of the International Space Station, but here are some other colors that have caught my eye from my orbital perspective.

African violet

Bahamas blues

Tropical in Africa

Yellow desert

Orange in Egypt

Red surprise 

Snow white 

This isn’t space related. But this needs exposure immediately. 

Watch: The kid gloves came off for tonight’s Democratic debate. There was an audible reaction from the crowd after Clinton said “artful smear.”

As of midnight on Monday night, Sen. Bernie Sanders trails Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucuses by less than a percentage point. Sanders has labeled it a “virtual tie.” Considering where Bernie stood a year ago (and the massive percentage growth) this is truly remarkable.
