The world we live in.

Tracy Caldwell Dyson realises there's no place like home as she peers down at Earth from the highest vantage point possible - space.

Staring out of the windows of the International Space Station (ISS), the astronaut takes in the planet in all its wonderful glory.

Orbiting our planet about 217 miles up, the ISS is high enough so that the Earth's horizon appears clearly curved.

Astronaut Dyson's windows show some of Earth's complex clouds, in white, and life-giving atmosphere and oceans, in blue.

The space station orbits the Earth about once every 90 minutes and it is not difficult for people living below to spot it in the sky if they look carefully.

The ISS can frequently be seen as a bright point of light drifting overhead just after sunset. 

In fact, telescopes can even resolve the overall structure of the space station. 

The above image was taken in late September from the ISS's Cupola window bay.

Meanwhile, back on ISS, two Russian cosmonauts exited the station for a spacewalk to install equipment and perform maintenance.


Wow, what a beautiful world. This isn't really weird news, but something to share. I'm sure that would be really scary going up into space. You probably would have to do a lot of training, in order to be able to go into space. If I had the chance, I think I would go into space. Would you? Do you think you would be able to? Or, would you chicken out? It would be a pretty big decision. Anyway, what do you think about these pictures? I can't believe we live there! Not necessarily Egypt, but the world in general.

For all you Harry Potter fans...

For all you Harry Potter fans out there, have you seen the new movie yet? I have not yet seen it, but am extremely excited for when I will. My question for you (if you have seen the movie,).... What did you think if the movie? Was it AMAZING? Was it too much? Or was it just not good? I would like you my fellow followers, to tell me in the comments area what you thought of the movie. You don't even have to have seen the movie to leave your thoughts in the comments box, tell me what you think this movie is going to be like, is going to be good, bad, horrific, brilliant, etc.

Χάρn!!!

Michael Jackson... ALIVE?

Sorry, he's not :(

More than a year after his death, Michael Jackson continues to be controversial.

"Hold My Hand," the brand-new Jackson song featuring R&B singer Akon, was officially released on Monday as the first single off next month's posthumous album, "Michael."

Jackson and Akon recorded the song in 2007; at the time, Jackson felt it was not ready for release. Three years later, Jackson's estate claims that MJ left a handwritten note asking for "Hold My Hand" to be the album's first official single. But "Black eyed peas" star Will.i.am. thinks that collaborators should let the King of Pop rest in peace.

When I first saw this, I got really scared thinking that he was alive. Or that someone took over for him, (sounding exactly like him, but a different person.) If you read the rest of the link/article you would of seen that Will.i.am thought this was disrespectful to the"King of Pop". I don't really know how to feel about this. In my opinion, I don't think it's that disrespectful, because he already recorded it almost three years ago. But it also doesn't seem right for them to distribute a song without him here. I'm not sure. What do you think? Was this disrespectful to "The King of Pop"? Or not? Leave your thoughts in the comments box.

PS: Also include if you are a fan of Michael Jackson or not.
