EARTH AT NIGHT

****************

Check the link below...This is really a sight to behold! Enjoy it -

we're paying for it!.

The image is a panoramic view of the world from the new space station.

You can scroll East-West and North-South (left and right and up and

down). Canada's population is almost exclusively along the U.S. border.

Moving east to Europe, there is a high population concentration along

the Mediterranean Coast. It's easy to spot London, Paris, Stockholm

and Vienna. Check out the development of Israel compared to the rest

of the Arab countries. View the " Stans.

Note the Nile River and the rest of the " Dark Continent " . After the

Nile the lights don't come on again till Joberg. Look at the Australian

Outback and the Trans-Siberian Rail Route. Moving east, the most

striking is the difference between North and South Korea. How about

Eastern China v. Western China?

What a piece of photography. It is an absolutely awesome picture of

the Earth taken from the Boeing built Space Station.
