Comet Lovejoy rising from behind the earth viewed from the space station. WOW! Almost like a Christmas miracle.



Also watch all the lightning shows down on earth. Cool.

So much to see, no practical way to do it, at least right now. I'd love to be able to go to Saturn and explore the rings and visit Jupiter's moons, especially Europa and Io . Waaaaaay cool!
