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 .

THIS PHOTO IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. BE SURE TO  READ THE TEXT BELOW TO
HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU ARE VIEWING. IT IS HISTORIC TOO
AS  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.
