cool pictures.
sorry if these have been seen before.
The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day.
The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are
the cities lights.
The top part of Africa is the SaharaDesert.
Note that the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and that's it's still daylight in Dublin, London, Lisbon,
andMadrid.
The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the AzoresIslands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands; a bit
below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa, are the Cape Verde islands.
Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during Daytime and night time.
To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen
the next ones are when graffic designers get bored.

"It's not technically a satellite photo, either. In fact, it would be technologically impossible to take this photo with any type of space-borne camera. Although the exact source of it is unknown, it is most likely a computer-generated composite made from satellite images, topographical scans and other data.
It is a stunning image and the descriptive text accompanying it is at least geographically correct. But it's not a real photo..."
Thought so.
I wasn't knocking it in any way, it just seems too perfect. Nice find though
