The Picture Thread

[CrazyDiamond]

And our Sun compared to some others...we are not even a pixel in the grand scale of the universe. The biggest star in the universe is UY Scuti with a diameter of approximately 2.4 billion kilometers. And of course you could go further with things like nebula, galaxy, galaxy cluster, galaxy super cluster...

See what @Vitolo and I are getting at? Look how tiny the Earth is in this image from the Moon from the Blue Ghost lander and its shadow.

Tiny people on a tiny planet can only live due to a still smaller water sphere (if water could be gathered as a sphere as imagined here).

The red color of the Moon is caused by the deflection of blue light by Earth's atmosphere. The distortion is an optical effect arising from layers in the Earth's atmosphere that refract light differently due to sudden differences in temperature or pressure. Another reason the Moon looks so unusual is that there is an airplane flying in front. The image was captured about two weeks ago above Turin, Italy . Our familiar hovering sky orb was part of an unusual quadruple alignment that included two historic ground structures: the Sacra di San Michele on the near hill and Basilica of Superga just beyond.

This picture is a good reminder that pigs aren't there to serve and protect you or prevent crime. Their sole purpose is to serve the ruling class by protecting their property.

I know a lot of people don't like these guys. But I'm just thinking about how far we've come as a society now that the President of the United States can openly receive homosexual roadhead from his Evil Court Vizier. Love is Love

I agree 100%.
It has become "forbidding" to come to one of my favorite threads for fear of being immersed involuntarily in visual messages that have no root
in artistic appreciation.

Yeah... I'm humbly requesting the same as @CrazyDiamond.
Maybe even in the thread Random Thoughts (<link).
Let's leave this thread as it was intended.

With all due respect, perhaps I'll be motivated to share my view about what a "Stand-Up" babe President Sheinbaum of Mexico is in a more appropriate thread!

Yes! Please put the doom & gloom into a thread of its own
