It’s nice to see the (nearly full) moon in the early morning. It’s no wonder that we are practically programmed to be in awe and wonder at the world. It’s a bit of a shame we are destroying that world.
Moonset
It’s such a shame that my iPhone camera doesn’t do very well in the low light. The moon has been gorgeous these last few mornings. A full moon and setting. Brilliant.
I’m amused by effects of our eyes on our perception of reality. To me, when I looked at the moon it seemed much larger than in the photo. My eyes and brain do a really good job of ignoring all the stuff I’m not interested in. To me, this view was mostly the moon and tree. My brain just chose to ignore all the houses and car. It will really freak you out once you start understanding perception of reality. We observe so little of what we see.
Awesome Drive
Wow, wasn’t expecting this from GT6! I got to drive on the moon!
Here are some screen grabs from my replay.
And another:
Kaz has done a brilliant job.
Current iPhone Background
My current iPhone background is this stunning picture of the Earth and Moon system taken by the Cassini spacecraft from orbit around Saturn. We are so small and insignificant! God must have been having a serious joke when he placed us on this land, there’s so much out there, and we’ll never get to it (do the physics/maths).
