How about a picture of Earth from LeBron's hairline? I wonder which features would be visible.

For real though, and this is coming from someone who is obsessed with planets and outer space, but what did you expect it to look like? Does Mars look like anything other than a bright little speck from Earth?

Damn. We usually look at things in the sky and wonder if there is life. Now we see Earth out there and it doesn't even look like it has life.

If you took a photo from the top of LeBron's hairline, at a 90 degree angle to the surface of his head at the point, you would get a nice panoramatic of view of a night sky, but not a single object on Earth in the picture:lol

Personally I didn't expect to see the moon in the shot which you can clearly see in the full resolution shot.

It's for you to see and for you alone to have whatever feeling you want to have about it, because the utter truth is that all of us exist on that speck. Every single human being that's ever been born and died has been on that speck. I wish Carl Sagan was still alive.

Not if you took the photo right after tonight's Jazz game, as his head was drooped over in shame.

He was sad because Ray Allen gave Trey Burke advice on shooting.
