Night View: California, Mexico’s Baja California and the Gulf of Cortez

City lights illuminate this night time view of southern California, Mexico’s Baja California and the Gulf of Cortez, as photographed by one the Expedition 28 crew members onboard the International Space Station flying at altitude of approximately 220 miles. A 15-mm focal length was used to capture the time lapse image. The thin line of Earth’s atmosphere is visible above the horizon.

This is a real image taken by the robotic spacecraft Cassini of Saturn eclipsing the sun (via).

Amazing.  There is a little blue dot on the left side of the image just above the bright main rings.  That is Earth, approximately a billion miles away.

Not psychology related, just an incredible image.  Click for high resolution to see Earth.
