These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows planets stacked up over the skies of Yosemite. Three planets in the sky, one that you stand on. Jupiter is sinking into the west as the sun sets, but both Mars and Saturn are giving good views at the moment (if you can apply a global dust filter to Mars, that is!). "Mouseover" the image in the link for a guide to the planets visible in this image.
