travelculturebooksandtea: elegantbuffalo: Mount Everest is quickly becoming the world’s highest garbage dump. According to estimates, there are nearly 120 tons of litter. The trash includes high-tech climbing equipment, plastics, food, tins, oxygen tanks, aluminum cans, clothes, glass, paper and tents. The Nepalese government has initiated biannual clean-up expeditions, and some ecologists have suggested giving the mountain a rest (i.e.: be closed to climbers) for a year. This is just despicable. I would’ve thought that the climbers hiking up the world’s tallest mountain would at least give it the respect it deserves by not leaving their litter behind. Tch MAN THIS IS SO FUCKED UP AND SAD! LIKE REALLY GUYS? YOU’RE DOING THIS CLIMB YET YOU CAN’T SEEM TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR OWN SHIT. RESPECT NATURE!

discoverynews: As opposed to this fake image that has been propagated around the ‘net, this one is from NASA’s Goddard flickr page. This is the first image ever taken of Earth from the surface of a planet beyond the Moon. dendroica: Earth From Mars by NASA Goddard Photo and Video on Flickr. It was taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit one hour before sunrise on the 63rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission. (March 8, 2004) The image is a mosaic of images taken by the rover’s navigation camera showing a broad view of the sky, and an image taken by the rover’s panoramic camera of Earth. The contrast in the panoramic camera image was increased two times to make Earth easier to see.The inset shows a combination of four panoramic camera images zoomed in on Earth. The arrow points to Earth. Earth was too faint to be detected in images taken with the panoramic camera’s color filters.Credit: NASA/JPL/Cornell/Texas A&M all about mars… Ooooo ahaha man our insignifigance but yet…amazing signifigance
