~ Night & Day ~

Korang penah tengok siang dan malam dalam satu masa tak? Secara realitinya mesti tak penah kot. Kalau setakat subuh hari dan magrib tu biasala kan..tade la perbezaan yang nyata...me pon tak pernah tgk..so meh tgk perbezaan yang ketara cam kat bawah ni.....

The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day. The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting.

Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights. The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert . Note that the lights are already on in Holland , Paris , and Barcelona,and that's it's still daylight in Dublin , London , Lisbon , and Madrid .

The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar . The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands ; a bit below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa , are the Cape Verde Islands. Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during day time and night time. To the left, on top, is Greenland , totally frozen.

P/S: Mesti korang dah lama dapat emel ni kan. tapi tape me nk juga tempek kt sini.
