Came across the following link showing video stream of earth from the Space Station. Watch out for the Thunderstorms at about 2" 55' in.
Earth as you have never seen it
Thanks for the link - I really enjoyed it.
Edit: I've just watched this again and wondered if anyone knows what the long ribbon of orange light is - you see it around 3'47". It must be 100's miles long. It seems too big even to be a lit, 10 lane motorway but I can't think what else it could be.
PS: watch this in full screen -it is fabulous.
Quote: didn't they have anything better to do? 
Yes Karen it does move a bit to quick - am trying to workout how I can get that down to my 42" HD TV -
Fascinating. Thanks for the link.

The great wall of China? I know part of it is illuminated but I am not sure it gos as far as the section on the video. This map has the same sort of topology, including the hook bit on the right.

I didn't even realise any of it was illuminated - I'll look at the video again. Thanks for the info'.
It seems I was wrong - it is the India/Pakistan border.

Sections of the Great Wall are illuminated but I was not suer so much of it would be illuminate to leave that sort of signature on a satellite image.
It's a myth that you can see the Great Wall of China from space. It's long but I think my front drive is wider and that's why it can't be seen.

What a massive waste of energy. How many pollution emitting power stations are required to run all those lights?
Quote: All that energy wasted just because neighbours don't trust each other.
