    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 Sahara Desert.
    Note that the lights are already on in
    Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and
    that it's still daylight in
    Dublin, London, Lisbon, and Madrid. 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 Azores Islands; 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.

    Also, notice the topography of the ocean floor![​IMG]if it loads as a red X, click properties on the X and put the addy in your browser :)
