Officially, the U-2 is still the highest-flying airplane in the world. Its real max altitude is classified, but in this video James May of the BBC's Top Gear has the privilege of riding on the edge of space, at 70,000', where the Earth's roundness, and the thickness of the atmosphere separating terra firma from the black void of space is apparent. He comments how it is hard to not become emotional over the reality of seeing the home planet from such a vantage point.

Occasionally, a full moon coincides with the point in its elliptical orbit that is its closest - or nearly so - approach to Earth (called the perigee). January 29th was one of those times, resulting in the largest, brightest full moon of 2010. It was roughly 14% greater in diameter and 30% brighter than will be any of the rest of the year's full moons. Absolutely clear skies and an outside temp of 6 °F produced this quite cool photo taken through my back patio door (from the inside where it was 70 °F).
