Earth From Space

Posted by John Pedlow

This particular picture is obviously not from an artist we have talked about in class, but yet I still find it interesting enought to blog about. Pictures of Earth at night from space have always caught my eye and I have always considered myself fascinated by them. Every time I see one of these pictures I find myself stopping and looking at it for at least a minute or two. Maybe it is because I like geography that I look at these because I always like to look for the brightest spots on the map and they, for obvious reasons, are always around major cities such as New York and London. I have also always liked to look at the areas that there are seemingly no lights such as Africa and large portions of Asia. It really makes you realize the different life styles people in the world live and how technologically advanced some areas of the world are compared to other areas.
