Supposedly (I can't vouch for this text):

"has an absolutely awesome picture of the Earth taken from the Boeing built
Space Station last November on a perfect night with no obscuring atmospheric
conditions This is really a sight to behold! The image is a panoramic view
of the world from the new space station. It is a night photo with the lights
clearly indicating the populated areas. You can scroll East-West and
North-South. Note that Canada's population is almost exclusively along the
U.S. border. Moving east to Europe, there is a high population concentration
along the Mediterranean Coast. It's easy to spot London, Paris, Stockholm
and Vienna. Note the Nile River and the rest of the "Dark Continent". After
the Nile, the lights don't come on again until Johannesburg. Look at the
Australian Outback and the Trans-Siberian Rail Route. Moving east, the most
striking observation is the difference between North and South Korea. Note
the density of Japan."

However, it is a striking photo.
