[Career Prole]

9. Thanks!

I'm feeling kinda tiny now. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear Career Prole!

Seeing those images does rather bring things into proper perspective, doesn't it?

It is such a lovely planet, this little blue dot that shelters us...

:hi:

[Career Prole]

11. I also turned off that light I didn't really need on

out in the kitchen even though it's a compact fluorescent. We certainly are a brightly lit part of the world, aren't we?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. We are indeed!

But look at Europe...

Nearly solid...

Just sayin'...

:hi:

[emlev]

12. Beautiful. And a question...

How does one get a photograph of Earth from above the north pole that shows nighttime all around the northern hemisphere?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I believe that these are satellite pics...

And they go all over, not just around the equator...

I could be wrong, but this is what I think!

Glad you enjoyed them!

:hi:

[emlev]

17. That doesn't answer my question

There's a photo that shows it being night in the entire northern hemisphere at the same time. That doesn't happen. Is it a time-elapsed photo?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. You know, you've got me there...

I don't believe they're time lapse, but I really don't know...

Sorry...

40. According to this link, some of the pics are composites.

Question: Did Sunita Williams take the pictures from space of the earth in light darkness that is currently circulating?

Answer: If the pictures this question refers to are the day/night shots, the answer is no. These are satellite pictures but most of them have been enhanced and some of them are composites. As far as exhaustive investigation goes, Sunita Williams took none of these.

Here is some background on astronaut Sunita Williams:

27. It must be a composite of several images. nt

And...you're welcome, sweetie!

:hi:

[Lionel Mandrake]

16. Another K&R

These pictures show where we all live.

It may be the only planet we'll ever have.

Shouldn't we take better care of it?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Lionel Mandrake!

We should indeed take better care of it...

And I believe that we will shortly be doing so...

Thanks for the rec!

:hi:

Definitely image views of the world I had never seen before in excellent resolution.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear Hissyspit!

[Doctor_J]

36. You can tell these are a few years old - the North Pole is still covered with ice

I've been using the "Nightfall in Europe & N Africa" for a desktop for a few years.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. That's true!

Good choice for a desktop...

:hi:

[Mira]

38. Wish I could kick it and recommend it more than once - It gave me

a chance to be profoundly grateful for the travels I have been able to enjoy, and brought the beauty of the planet close without us having to see anything ugly for a change.
The Red Sea / Nile Delta..... AWESOME.
Thank you CaliforniaPeggy.
Will give it for Christmas in appropriate emailboxes.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear Mira!

Glad you had a chance to take a look!

We've sent it on to selected folks in our family too...
