Did You Turn The Lights Off, Dear?

One website I have spent countless (literally hundreds I expect) of hours on is The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth site.

The site has nearly 800,000 photographs taken since 1961 available for viewing and I have probably downloaded for personal viewing a couple of thousand of these - there are so many spectacular images, each with their own unique quality that makes me gaze with curiosity. I couldn't possibly begin to sift through those I particularly like.

The image below is one I found recently showing the UK at night as observed by astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
