Nasa images are always interesting. On the photo of North America you can even see the arc of hwy 11.

I like the last night shot of the entire planet. It always amazes me the vast areas of black. Absolutely no pun intended at all. But Africa has very few clusters of lights large enough to see from space. Himalayas, South America, etc.. Basically from Northbay up. So much to explore.

very cool. the composite of the world is striking Too bad half of those lights in the big cities are probably on in empty buildings though

Yup - fascinating. Look at North Korea. Almost totally black, with a bright band of light along the guarded border.

North Korea, lol.

What struck me is North America. The US is ablaze and Canada is lit up for about 100 miles all along the border. Everything else in black except for one light visible in Yellowknife....undoubtedly Dave tying rabbit fur late into the night.

that's because 90% of Canadians live within 200km from the border
