I am terribly sorry about that last movie post. I had no idea it was a private one. Anyhow! Geeks are sexy has a very nice mailing list I follow, and today there was a truly stunning post. Still images taken by NASA astronaut Don Pettit, put in sequence to make a movie. It is beautiful, mind blowing and breathtaking.
Enjoy one of the great wonders of the world!
