THIS PHOTO IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. BE SURE TO READ THE TEXT BELOW TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU ARE VIEWING. IT IS HISTORIC TOO AS THIS IS THE LAST MISSION FOR COLUMBIA...
The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day.
The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night.
The bright dots you see are the cities' lights.
The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert.
Note that the lights are already on in Holland , Paris , and Barcelona ,
and that's it's still daylight in Dublin , London , Lisbon , and Madrid ..
The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar... The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands;
below them to the right are the Madeira Islands ; a bit below are the
Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point
of Africa , are the Cape Verde
Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during
day time and night time.
To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen.
Who'll have a chance to see all this?? We are lucky!!
SUBHAN ALLAH....SUBHAN ALLAH!
SUBHAN ALLAH....SUBHAN ALLAH!
