Amazing View: African and European Sunset From Space
This has got to be one of the most amazing pictures I’ve ever come across. It was taken by the Columbia shuttle crew during their last space mission and shows a sunset cutting through Africa and Europe. Notice the bright lights in certain countries where the sun has already set — Paris, Berlin, etc.
A big thanks to the Columbia crew and the Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for this picture:

Actually that’s not a photograph. Sorry. Cameras used to capture color and (apparent) detail on the earth’s surface would not also pick up details of the ocean floors.
It may be a composite image based on one from space, but it’s DEFINITELY NOT A PHOTOGRAPH.
No offense. It’s a nice image nonetheless.
