Wow! Thought I should share this.
Found this the other day and thought it pretty amazing. I love how you can see what I guess is the Nile lit up over Eastern Africa for so much of its length, and how much of northern Russia is basically uninhabited. Apparently you can fit all of Europe into the same area as Siberia. Puts things in perspective!

The penal colony looks a bit empty, you can tell where Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth are, but the rest of them appear to have no lecky.
Either that or it all went dark when the fuses all blew, after they kicked their tellies in during the national tantrum that followed their drubbing in the Rugby World Cup
