Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Dear Srimathy Krishna Priya : Thanks very much for sending the beautiful picture of Darkness and light at the same time as seen by the crew of the Columbia Space craft . This is timely in the context of ongoing discussions on Thiruvegatam list : " Darkness is the absence of light is a violation of the basic laws of Physics " and " The theory of Darkness is the absence of something " . Thnak you again for such a lovely picture of darkness and light at the same time . V.Sadagopan - krishna priya sadagopan ji Sunday, July 31, 2005 6:52 AM see day and night at single time THIS PHOTO IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. BE SURE TO READ THE TEXT BELOW TOHAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU ARE VIEWING. IT IS HISTORIC TOOAS IS THE LAST MISSION FOR COLUMBIA ..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 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.
