Happy Belated Earth Day!

The ability to see Earth from space has forever changed our view of the planet. We are now able to look at the Earth as a whole, and observe how its atmosphere, oceans, land masses, and life interact as global systems. Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere are dynamic, changing on timescales of days, minutes, or even seconds. Monitoring the Earth in near real time allows us to get an up to date picture of conditions on our planet.

  • Technically 8 planets, now. Because Pluto is demoted to a drawf planet. I agree with memonk11 about Pluto.

  • @jasleil Yeah, my bad. It's a pre-pluto-isn't-a-planet-anymo­re video but I'd been meaning to upload it for Earth day. Who knows, maybe it'll be a planet in 2111 again...

  • the prisonors will be saved their minds cleansed like it or not these "criminals" will be reformed the right way through true repentence real salvation like it or not, the days of judging you brothers and sisters are numbered. the children i see that have been damaged by the hurt teachings. for you will see the pen is the supreme over all your weapons.

  • When that day comes when you stand before this hip hop listening sneaker wearing latino spic that has your fate in his hand you will be humbled. You could label me a liar put contry before creation but you will stand before me, the abusers, oppressors, wicthcraft using wicked fools you hateful people your days are very short the land will be free whether you like it or not.

  • the world is going to change this world of borders, guns, bombs, electrical fences whether men like it or not, this is earth in where people have the nerve that the land is exclusive it is a earth that is to be shared. this earth of death and hate will cease. this mentality of destruction will end and those who have the thwarted thought of racism and hatred will not live in this world for they are destined for a dimension of their won doings, this racist perveted thinking.

  • yay earth day

  • "pluto is our friend and we can't just kick him out like that" - my awesome Physics teacher

  • @2346 well, you take that argument up with the people in charge of that
