As viewed from the Sun today....
The most significant thing about this picture, to me, is that the basic color of the Universe is Black, unless you're very close to a light source, like our Sun or some other star. Living in a world with regular daylight and dark periods, we can tend to overlook this basic fact. What am I getting at? Space travel will involve a lot of "night driving". Are we sure we're into that? Not recommended for those who are afraid of the dark, or who just aren't comfortable with it.
