look at a collection of fascinating details about Earth. Gentle Subscribers

"Alien worlds may be all the rage, with their mystique and promise, but the orb
we call home, planet Earth, has all the makings for a jaw-dropping blockbuster
movie: from the drama of explosive volcanoes, past meteor crashes and
catastrophic collisions between rocky plates to the seeming fantasy of the
ocean's deep abysses swirling with odd life and tales of the coldest, hottest,
deepest, highest and all-out extreme spots." - from the website
Designed in the currently fashionable slideshow format, the presentation swings
out more than four dozen Earth factoids. From Everest to the Mariana Trench,
the exhibit chronicles the highs and lows of the planet accompanied by stunning
images. Along with the startling details are straightforward scientific facts,
such as a brief explanation on the science of Earth's shape, Earth's recycling
proclivities, and a few pertinent notes about moonquakes and their causes.
