stormiestlScience: Composite Of Earth At Night
'crmartin' writes "Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is an incredible
composite image of Earth from space at night. Actually a composite from
many pictures from the Defense Meteorological Satellites Program (DMSP),
it's like a skeletal view of the Earth in tiny lights. If you really like
it, there are hi-res images up to a 40 megabyte TIFF."
