You Can See My House From Here

Filed under: Science — Tim @ 2:00 am

I haven’t seen too many posts about this floating around the blogosphere (maybe because I’ve been home all of 3 hours in the past 2 days), but I came across a picture taken from the Mars Global Surveyor. What is interesting about this particular picture, was that well, as the title suggests, you can see mi casa (if you zoom in 1000000000x).

Actually, those white patchy sections are North and South America (here is a better rendition of that).

My summer house on the Moon was pulverized by Eddie Murphy while he was filming The Adventures of Pluto Nash (I was a calf double in there). So there really isn’t anything worthwhile to zoom in on that grey speck to the right of the Terran homeworld.

I always wanted to know what Timotopia looked like from a $135 million camera, now I know.
