off the beating path of cars -- neat none the less
Just a neat pic that I received from a friend :P
This photo was taken via satellite, on a cloudless day. Note how the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and how it's still daylight in London, Lisbon, and Madrid. The sun is still shining on the Straight of Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean Ocean is already in darkness. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right, the Madeira Islands; a bit below them the Canary Islands; further south, close to the furthest western point of Africa, the Cape Verde Islands. Note how the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during daytime and nighttime. To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen. Increase magnification to 100% to get a better effect.

Nope that pic would be much closer of a shot, one you can read car plates with. It helps when you have friends in high places [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Maybe it was for this planes mission, notice how the plane is marked to help pay for the war efforts.

Re: off the beating path of cars -- neat none the less
I have a lot of pics like those from when I was a contractor at NASA at Edwards AFB in California. There all pretty neat when you think that they were taken from an average height of 225-265 miles above us

Jeff that is cool stuff. You always find neat stuff. It is good for us to look at things other than cars sometimes. Keeps us sane! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
