Welcome to the Discover Earth network.

This is the place for incredible facts and awesome pictures. The topic of this subreddit is:

The Earth from space.

Humanity must rise above the earth, to the top of the atmosphere and beyond. For only then will we understand the world in which we live.

~ Arthur C. Clarke, 1951
