- mutt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Hillarious.. I was expecting something worth seeing.. in case the site goes down, let me save you the trouble..
It looks just like this:

except, the colours are reversed - intelmustdie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"Hillarious.. I was expecting something worth seeing.."
If you expected some big picture of Earth you must be retarded. When you view Mars from Earth it looks like a slightly larger, darker star. What made you think Earth wouldn't look much the same on the other side of the fence? - otomo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone who says this picture sucks can feel free to go to mars and take a better picture.
Keep in mind the cameras have to survive VERY high g forces for takeoff and landing (over 10g for landing). Most won't.
Before you diss the pictures understand the technological hurdles needed to get the cameras there. That determines their resolution. I consider it to be a damn good picture considering all the above. - Rirath, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Earth, eh? I've heard of it before, but I'm not really into this whole astronomy thing. All them dots look the same, what's so special about this 'Earth'? Maybe some day they'll send a robot to this 'Earth' to explore it. It probably has some interesting rocks or soil patterns or /something/.
/blatant, obvious sarcasm - camtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2pretty detailed picture. they even left all the extra top and bottom sky part on to make it more dramatic. :)
- AveryDeDog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I can see my house!
- SystemError, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1is it earth or a dead pixel?
- mulls, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1[fanboi]
I just KNOW that Google had something to do with this!
[/fanboi] - tepster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1All you people that complain it's just a dot probably don't like to read books either.
- camtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1me=spam police :)
spammers here don't get it. All we have to do is click one button (block/report) and the 40 comments just spammed are gone. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I honestly searched digg hard before i duped this.. search could use some work.
- tekk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0> this is very old news, its from March.
Must all stories submitted be new? It hasn't been submitted before and only recently uncovered (aka "dugg"). :) - daboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it sorta makes you think of something deep and spiritual and meaningful and artsy and the like, but since i can't think of anything, i'll leave it to your imaginations.
- sovereign3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>yawn< That was amazing...
- sparkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hello May of 2005!

- Fish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is very old news, its from March.
- Never, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It seems all digg articles are also spammed by the same diggers. Just checked others a few secs ago.
- oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0.earth wow. I think I'm getting a headache. Yep, I AM getting a headache.
Damn, I hate when that happens. You would think they would have centered the DOT, so it would LOOK more important. They just filtered everything else out. How gauche!! (sp)
Cyborg
Not freaking likely... - the_d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sweet.
- Dingle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0whats impressive are these mars rovers still kicking.
- shane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not a very good picture, but I still Digg it. :)
- markgl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0pretty cool.
- kiteflyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And let us hope it's just a beginning and not our finest hour.
I just wish it was me seeing that spec of light light and a robot. - ladyflux6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Its blurry.. and of course earth is far therefore looks like a dot, digg-.
- rockyrobins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It needs an arrow saying "You are Here." Those rovers are cool
- sifelltneytandi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow...that was incredible. Check out this picture I took of Mars from Earth!

well that was exciting. - anisettamonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0makes me suddenly feel very insignificant.
but freakin, eh! thats cool, that dots earth?! - andreo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm gonna need more proof then that. I think they just took a picture of Venus and they are saying it's Earth :)
- itate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Way cool and good digg, but has anyone notice this is 7 months old?
- soleblazer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0man, this site is starting to suck bc of all the spam....how are people doing that? I can't imagine people are spamming manually...
At any rate, that picture kicks ass. - sadsac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Like everything else, it all depends on the perspective.
- rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Mutt has watched to much star trek.
What do you think it would look like from mars? - Kissitfatty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i think its more of a symbolic thing i mean it puts things into perspective we are nothing but a spec on a spec in the universe *cough* spammers *cough*
- sifelltneytandi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You know what I meant...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nicely written post, tekk
- uglymike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Are you sure? I think it is Mars as seen from Earth.
