It's only about 100 miles up. If you look at photographs taken in daylight of
the iss and nasa's sts orbiters, you'll see that they are brightly lit by
earthlight. Even shadowed areas on the moon get a decent amount of earthlight,
and that's 250,000 miles away.

I find it a strangely evocative image, and it has much to do with the
flat, dead-grey texture. Like it is the ash from some thing or creature
baked, incinerated or somehow immolated in such a way that it's every
detail remained intact
The one thing that bugs me, perhaps, is the orientation, which suggest
somehow that this is how it would look while sitting upright on a tabletop.
