That's just a work top. Needs jiffing ciffing.

You would need the Sun to be "behindish" you and Earth to be "infrontish" of you.

Not if you were in a spaceship or space suit (with some serious heat sheilding I guess) anyway the question was rhetorical, just look at how small the earth and the moon is (yes, yes, those planets are small, those planets are far away, I know!)

You wouldn't see Earth at all if the planets were aligned, Venus would be in the way

Thanks, I can't believe I did that, I had "towards Earth at first, but that didn't fit, so changed it and was rushing as I had a phone call just as I was posting it.

I thought the Earth would be less white and more bluey than that.

Anyway, you wouldn't see anything, as you'd be eaten by killer robots or possibly space bats.

Let's imagine that by "you" I meant a camera on some sort of space craft. We could call the spacecraft "Messenger" or something.

The Starlings cracked open their shells and ate them all.

What is that on the RHS of the picture?
Why is the moon so big in comparison to the Earth?
Where is the Great Wall of China?

Looks a bit like a very basic Mandlebrot set to me actually.

If you were on Mercury would you still get AIDs?

And that reminded me of Noctis, which I'd not dabbled with in years. I do like the idea of a multiplayer space exploration type thing (if you find a planet that has been undiscovered, you get to name it and add your own description to it, which then gets collated in the next star map) though, so I'll have to try out Noctis V when it comes out (Although according to the site, it's been in development for five years already).

Look, it wouldn't let me put as much info as I wanted in the title or sub title, all I really meant is that you need mercury to be between the sun and the earth (rather than the sun being in the middle)

tchhhaaaa
