Nasa just published this amazing picture.

This is a very high exposure picture of the nigh side of the world. City lights, auroras, starts and Venus can be seen.

Also, do you realize how thin our atmosphere really is? We’re all living in a small fish tank. Everything we release into that thin layer of air matters.

It’s terrifying to think that this razor‑thin boundary is the only place in the entire universe where we can breathe and live.

I often think this when I visit mountainous areas, like Switzerland.

If you go up, even if only a couple of kilometres, the number of living things drops so very fast.

By the time you reach the snow line, the vast majority of living things cannot survive.
