Gawain 0 #1 December 25, 2002 This site is unbelieveable. Check the link below...This is really a sight to behold. The image is a panoramic view of the world from the new space station. It is a night photo with the lights clearly indicating the populated areas. You can scroll East-West and North-South. Note that Canada's population is almost exclusively along the U.S. border. Moving east to Europe, there is a high population concentration along the Mediterranean Coast. It's easy to spot London, Paris, Stockholm and Vienna. Check out the development of Israel compared to that of the Arab countries. Note the Nile River and the rest of the "Dark Continent." After the Nile, the lights don't come on again until Johannesburg. Look at the Australian Outback and the Trans-Siberian Rail Route. Moving east, the most striking observation is the difference between North and South Korea. Note the density of Japan. It is an absolutely awesome picture of the Earth taken from the Boeing built Space Station last November (2000) on a perfect night with no obscuring atmospheric conditions. Click here. We'll leave a light on for ya!! eidt: nothing special...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

weid14 0 #12 December 25, 2002 check out australia..... I always thought it was unpopulated, but wow. it's interesting to see you can also find the major highways from the number of lights/towns along them (maybe they are all the mcdonalds/buger king in the US) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefallfreak 0 #13 December 25, 2002 Jaime, I truly believe that. Mine responds to hand signals. He is deaf (old age) so he taught me what I needed to know to communicate with him. It has worked out really well. FFF "Upon seeing the shadow of a pigeon, one must resist the urge to look up." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
