Photo: Buonanotte, Italia


Buonanotte, Italia

Lit up at night in this picture taken on June 15, 2011, the boot of Italy outline is drawn in by the cities of Bari, Brindisi, and Naples. Sicily is lit up as well. The ISS was almost a thousands kilometers east of Italy when it took this shot looking west, which is why it looks a bit squashed, foreshortened by the curve of the Earth.
