I love those kinds of pictures of the Earth at night. They sell them as posters and I have always wanted one.

I think it's interesting how Japan is totally lit up, even the more rural parts, like Hokkaido. Also, I love the little dots out in the pacific where Hawaii is.

Pictures like that are cool. There used to be one on the wall of my Geography classroom.
Look how bright Scotland's Central Belt is!

Quite impressive for a relatively small country, don't you think?

That's really cool. I find it fascinating how some parts of our earth are so visible from space and others are barely evident. Cool pic!

I really love pictures like that . Especially how you can see the Outline of Europe around the coast and and in Egypt how you can see the lights right around the Nile River. I just thought that pic was awesome! Thanks JWillHight!

I also thought it was weird how South Korea had SO much more lights and development than North Korea. I think North Korea had like only 1 dot. Anyone else notice that?
