These stunning images of Earth taken from space showcase the amazing diversity of texture and color that make up our planet.

Taken from a European Space Agency (ESA) satellite, we see the deep reds of the Namib desert to the iridescent glow of the Ganges River.

All of the images are available for high quality download on the ESA website, and make for incredible backgrounds, wallpapers, and more.

  4. It’s nice when we say things like “Our one and only home. We need to do everything we can to protect it” as you say, but (without wanting to be pessimistic and maybe already being so): HOW MANY GOOD REASONS DO WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY FROM BELLIGERANT GOVERNMENTS LIKE THE MANY OUT THERE) ARE WILLING TO DO EVERYTHING TO PROTECT OUR ONLY HOME?
