What a gorgeous planet!

[Piero]

Almost every day we talk about our observations or shots about Jupiter, Venus and Saturn faint details, and how beautiful these planets are. Indeed they are. They are so beautiful that we can literally spend hours looking at them. 

I just came across to this high resolution image taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). I invite you to open it in another tab, and after zoom it, to observe it as you normally observe the other planets. Isn't it amazing?

And not insignificant at all as is often commented, she is so precious.  This is no mere pale blue dot!
