Here is an awesome video of an Earth-rise taken recently by the Japanese Kaguya spacecraft in orbit around the moon. It's on space.com so you have to sit through a commercial first...

Don't know why but, as I watched that, I thought of Rick's immortal words from the movie, Casablanca:

"I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."
