Night time photo featuring the bright lights of Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt on the Mediterranean coast shot from the ISS.

These spectacular pictures are shot by the Expedition 25 crew members aboard the International Space Station flying 220 miles above Earth on Oct. 28. The Expedition 25 astronauts used the ESA-built Cupola observatory module to make these amazing nighttime pictures of planet Earth.

I always enjoy seeing these types of pictures. Speaking of pictures, just delete the ats from the atsimg tags when the picture is too wide.

Nice, Thanks for the link, I'd forgotten about those.

Yeah, not too often we see the atmosphere that color.
Usually we see it as blue.

What you say is true though..
the atmosphere is essentially an "energy shield", For sure.

I actually was viewing this series just a little while ago, I love this one.
