Visible Earth: Earth's City Lights

A beautiful high resolution photograph from NASA of the Earth’s city lights. Simply beautiful, reminds me of a quote, scientist can only dream of going to space but it is the astronaut that goes to space, how ironic.

Even more than 100 years after the invention of the electric light, some regions remain thinly populated and unlit. Antarctica is entirely dark. The interior jungles of Africa and South America are mostly dark, but lights are beginning to appear there. Deserts in Africa, Arabia, Australia, Mongolia, and the United States are poorly lit as well (except along the coast), along with the boreal forests of Canada and Russia, and the great mountains of the Himalaya.
