Beautiful

From Wired Science: This gorgeous image of a blue arc of the Earth against the blackness of space was captured by the Rosetta spacecraft as it swung by our planet. The spacecraft is on a comet hunting mission and did three swing-bys to give it momentum. It's last look back shows the earth in darkness with the exception of the south pole region. No matter what- this earth is a fragile thing of great beauty in a dark universe.
