Mir Image
I got a couple of oohs and ahhs on my latest desktop background, so I’m including it here for everyone.

Recently I had seen links to NASA’s Image site and found this spectacular impact drawing. A few days later the blurb on Slashdot about Mir’s abandonment sent me to a site that had a bunch of images of Mir.

I took images from both sites as desktop backgrounds, and noticed the resemblance between two of the images. It was a just a quick multilayer Photoshop document away from combining the two, giving us the ultimate view of the end of most life on planet Earth.
The image is 1024×768, 168k JPEG.
