Our earth is art

[Tigersoap]

Maybe you have already stumbled upon this website or already seen such pictures of our earth taken from space but I cannot help but post a link to these incredible images where I think the macrocosm is very close to the microcosm osit.
Enjoy ;)

Impressive pictures! Remarkable how the canals and rivers in some of the photos look just arteries, veins and capillaries in the human body. :)

Beautiful indeed!

This also reminds me of what was said in college about photosynthesis.

There is this on another website:

Chlorophyll is particularly effective at absorbing those red and blue wavelengths of light. However, it can not absorb the green wavelengths of light very well. As a result, it reflects the green wavelengths, which when they hit our eyes, we perceive as the color green. This is why plants typically appear green as well as why chlorophyll looks green to us.

And the professor told us that they don't really know why most photosynthetic organisms do not have pigments which absorb green light well, He said: "Well it would look all boring if it did, don't you think? Then ''all'' would be black and white.''

That was funny. :)
