Scared of heights?

Today's (08-31-2003) Astonomy Picture of the Day: View from Mount Everest

Be sure to scroll all the way to the side to get the full panoramic effect.

In the native language of Nepal, the mountain's name is "Sagarmatha" which means "forehead of the sky."

Wow. That is amazing! Looking at this picture, I can actually kinda reconcile with the image of the earth from space as the big, swirly, blue & white ball.
Glad I stumbled in here!
