Welcome to Create
There are places in the Universe that are truly wondrous: we can tell, because we've been looking at Hubble photos. This month we're asking the citizens of Earth to tell us about how nice your home planet is. Actually, not just nice, not 'mostly harmless': we want to know about the bits that are truly awe-inspiring, so nice that some may consider them divine or sacred. Tell us about a place, or building, or object that causes you to wonder.

"A collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be."
