Wow, they don’t call it the *Blue Marble* for nothing, I can see.
fyi, The reason we can see the Stars and City Lights is because of this picture being taken on the night side of the Earth + The longer exposure time.

Earth is going to be in flames the next time they see it.

Continent of Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Spain), bottom left
Top right (South Pole), bottom left (North Pole), you’ll see some aurora
And then bottom right, of course, the Sun peering through the atmosphere

To orient folks: North is down; south is up. The large sandy mass at the bottom-left is the northern part of Africa, with the city lights of Spain just visible at the edge.
As a bonus, the crew caught both the Aurora Borealis (bottom left) *and* the Aurora Australis (top right). Pretty fuckin’ awesome.

It’s both fascinating and frightening.
How small we all are in the scale of space. Our entire history is kept in this little ball.

We have satellites out this far but not people in over 50 years.
