A look at Earth from Mars

In case some of you didn't see this...

Damian, Anthony, Christopher and Phil et al think they have a hard time getting good shots of Mars from Earth.... try operating a camera from 205 Million Km's and get a good shot of Earth from Mars

Earth and Moon from Mars

One of those very cool and thought provoking but also sobering shots....oh and that's Australia you can see there!!..Australia from Mars

Please note, the brightnesses of those two are not realistic...
Moon is actually dark like a pitch.

"For presentation, the exposures were processed separately to optimize detail visible on both Earth and the moon. The moon is much darker than Earth and would barely be visible if shown at the same brightness scale as Earth."
