    I think we’ve maybe failed as a society if a picture of Earth from Mars is on mildly interesting…

      In order to fail, you first have to achieve something … and in terms of the wider universe and our planet … humanity has only just started

      I actually think it’s a sign of success, at least in one realm. We’ve been taking pictures of Earth from Mars for decades now. That it’s a common enough thing that it could maybe be “mildly interesting” is an achievement.

        I could see that, I just worry that leads to complacency rather than a broader interest. Of course we don’t have much history for this to grow from yet!

      I imagine dark with fewer stars.

        Why fewer? Wouldn’t lack of atmospheric interference allow the light from more stars to reach your eyes on Mars?

    Does our atmosphere magnify things slightly? Seems brighter on Earth

      probably just differences in cameras, lenses and exposure times
