				December 29, 2014: Earth at Night 2014
			  The IotD has had a lot of Earth at Night shots over the years. Here's one taken by Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, who is on board the International Space Station. |

			Hahaha. I just spent a ridiculous amount of time (okay; nearly 10 minutes anyway) squinting at the light patterns and trying to compare them to various parts of a map of Australia, twisting and turning the latter, attempting to figure out how you derived that. Until I finally clued in to the obvious. Yes indeed. Must be Australia. Happy New Year, IotDers! |

			I like the perspective.  Reminds me of George Lucas shots from Star Wars.
