This image is a panoramic view of the world from the new space station.
It is a night photo with the lights clearly indicating the populated areas.
What a piece of photography. It is an absolutely awesome picture of the
Earth taken from the Boeing built Space Station last November on a perfect
night with no obscuring atmospheric conditions.
-West and North-South.
Note that Canada's population is almost exclusively along the US border.
Moving east to Europe, there is a high population concentration along the
Mediterranean Coast. It's easy to spot London and Paris.
Check out the development of Israel compared to the rest of the Arab
countries.
Note the Nile River and the rest of the "Dark Continent." After the Nile,
the lights don't come on again until Johannesburg.
Look at the Australian Outback and the Trans-Siberian Rail Route.
Moving east, the most striking observation is the difference between North
and South Korea. Note the density of Japan.

ive noticed something a bit strange.
how could it be that somone took a picture of the whole earth at once?
if u have a sphere u cant take pictures of both sides at once.
and what about time differences? the picture show the whole world at night. but when its night here its day their.
can anyone explain?
