Please help me improve

It has been brought to my attention that some pictures, like the one of the cathedral, are too large to display properly in some viewers' browsers/readers. While I love the ability of large photographs to bring out much more detail than one can get in the tiny little 640x480 that Blogger thinks is "large", it does no good if the images can't be seen. Are the images too big in your browser? Please comment with your browser and screen resolution and help me troubleshoot.

Why "A Message From Earth"?

In 1979, Voyager I launched to the outer limits of the solar system and beyond. It carried onboard a gold plated disk for the reference of any intelligent life that found it to learn about earth. The disk contained images of the human figure, greetings in 55 languages, 115 sounds from nature, 90 minutes of music from a variety of cultures and eras, along with a greeting from the President of the United States and Secretary General of the United Nations. These are the only relics of human civilization outside the solar system.

Like Voyager, this record here beams elements of this life into the digital ether. Who will find it? What meaning will it have to them? I hope if the one who finds it is you, this record will have meaning to you of some sort.
