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 the rest 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.
