Photo by @FransLanting One day when I traveled across the Indian Ocean from Africa to Madagascar, I watched layers of monsoon clouds cast shadows on the sea. Sunlight diffracting through the plane’s window created the semblance of a rainbow that underscored to me the ephemeral beauty of life on our water planet. Only within the past generation have humans pierced the outer layers of the planetary membrane we call biosphere. A few have ventured into outer space, and unmanned probes have landed on distant planets, but perhaps the most important result of our explorations of other worlds has been to make us realize the uniqueness of our own. Viewed from space, Earth appears as an entity enveloped in swirls of clouds, visible evidence of the planet’s atmospheric membrane. Few humans have been privileged to see Earth this way with their own eyes, but millions have gazed down on continents, oceans, and clouds from jet planes that crisscross the upper reaches of the biosphere every day. Follow me @FransLanting to see more images of the ephemeral nature of life on Earth.
