Pretty nice, God, but it's not nearly as pretty as this picture I drew of a cat.

Why does our planet have no atmosphere? Are we all dead?

God didn't do that. I did it.

That's the biggest fart I've ever seen.

I surprised that we don't already have people screaming fake

should I inquire???

as a graphic designer who lives in the north and sees these regularly, i'm REALLY skeptical, but i might be wrong. i'd like to know the source of this, i'm shocked ive never seen something like this from NASA before.. but, anything's possible.

For the comments about it being fake, and not ever seeing images like this before, or images like this from NASA, a simple Google Image Search of "aurora borealis space" brings up tons of similar pictures from NASA.

Where's the picture of the cat, jerk.

All seeing this does to me is make me angry. Angry at canadians. Greedy bastards.

Well, OK, I take it you live in space and you regularly see northern lights from that angle.

Now you know how the earth looks from my eyes... little people.

No need to worry folks, I spoke with the big man himself and he confirmed it's real.
Now stop bickering before I ask him to smite you! Or, rather TELL him to.

Dude... Earth's got a Mohawk.

looks like someone's winamp broke loose and started terrorizing Canada

Further proof that the earth is a Martin Lawrence fan. Or is it Luke Wilson?
16. Eddy - June 26, 2007 1:00 AM
i think this is a nasa picture...i'm not so sure though...
17. David - June 26, 2007 1:45 AM
Probably not a fake...just not very common - look about half way down and you will see another image...

it would be helpful if you attached the drawing of the cat as well. :)

Cat > Aurora Borealis.
20. Rox - June 26, 2007 4:43 AM
preposterous, a cat in space with shimmering blue fur
I cry photoshop

Those arent the Northern Lights. It's the airlock. The password is 1....2.....3.....4..... The same as my luggage. Someone change the combo on my luggage.
22. Mandi - June 26, 2007 8:22 AM
Jesus, people, we need not question the credibility... If it's fake, it's fake, but that doesn't stop it from being pretty... Which was the whole point of it being posted here.
23. vÂȘnman - June 26, 2007 9:43 AM
If that's the northern lights, then where the hell is all the ice thats supposed to be up at that latitude? Oh wait. Damn you Al Gore!
24. black Sunshine - June 26, 2007 10:04 AM
ok, where's the super-high res desktop background version of this?
25. jillybean - June 26, 2007 11:00 AM
Stupid urban light pollution; I can't remember the last time I saw a constellation, nevermind the Northern Lights.
26. vÂȘnman - June 26, 2007 1:22 PM
Jilly, no one wants to hear about how long it's been since you've scored your high dollar Canadian hybrid pot.
27. GOD - June 26, 2007 2:47 PM
If you do things right, no one will know you have done anything at all.

#27 I don't think God would steal lines from the writers of Futurama...
29. GOD - June 26, 2007 7:25 PM
klynn, that was the point, it is a funny show and it was a funny line, now stop touching yourself.

Shaddup 'afore I get mah whompin' stick.
As for that..well..dang..helluva pipe bomb.
31. MrSemprini - June 27, 2007 3:33 PM
I'll take the cat cuz there's no way I'm getting a litterbox big enough for an aurora borealis in my apartment.

God is a loving God, A Patient God, Not poster 27, 29, or 30, and he would like you to stop imitating Him. The bible says that Thou Shalt Not Prtend To Be A god, as there is only one God. And it also says thou shalt not tempt your god, and your tempting him to uninvent the Internet right now.....
