How do you take a picture of the Earth from space if it is going so fast?

As the theory of relativity says; one is only going as fast as what is observed. If I seem to be stopped when you look at me, and I observe the opposite, we are both right because there is no absolute definition of a reference point in the universe. That is one of the reasons you can’t imagine the universe by drawing it on a piece of paper because, whatever you draw, you mentally accept a start coordinate: The bottom left corner of the paper or whatever. In space, that doesn’t exist. As an example: We observe it as if we were the center of the universe. But we would observe the same anywhere in the universe! Weird, isn’t it? But that’s the way it is!
