Default Amazing picture

Guys, look at this shot of the Earth from the ISS, its awinspring. It showing sunset over the Pacific. The upper area is still in dusk whilst the bottom is in night. Its a lovely picture, possibly one of the best I've ever seen of the Earth from orbit. If I could do one thing before I die, I would like to see that in person. Lets hope that our generations mistakes don't mean that others are denied the chance in the future . I also put in a random collection of other shots I found on google which looked good.
