2014-02-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Delaware Onlines: Every now and then the government's timing is just right. The U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee was on the spot with a Wednesday hearing: "Extreme Weather Events: The Costs of Not Being Prepared."

According to NASA, if you were walking on the surface of Mars, the Earth and Moon would be visible to the naked eye and would appear as "bright evening stars." This is only one of a handful of times that Earth has been imaged from more than a few thousand miles away. It's always rather humbling to see Earth -- that mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam -- just sitting there, tiny and insignificant, dwarfed by the grandest of black expanses.
