Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 you have gotta see this folks ... awesome ... Subject: Fw: Amazing View of Earth at Night! Check out the image at the web site below. The image is a panoramic view of all the lights in the world as viewed from the new space station. You can scroll East-West and North-South. Canada's population is almost exclusively along the US border. Note Hawaii's islands and Bermuda shining brightly. Also note how bright the Cayman islands and Puerto Rico are compared to neighbors Cuba and the Dominican Republic. See the Azores, off the west coast of Africa. Check out the development of Israel compared to many of the Arab countries. Moving further east, take a good look at the Korean peninsula which is the most striking comparison between a third world country in the North and a capitalist society in the South. Not much light in Africa, and you see how empty Australia is. Amazing picture! You will see how much we really have compared to the rest of the world. Have a great day. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0011/earthlights_dmsp_big.jpg ! cheers sheila Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear .... all of which have the potential to turn a life around. --- Leo Buscaglia FW: This is amazing!
