[:ja]大西宇宙飛行士が撮影した美しい夜の日本です。こうしてみると、思ったよりも地球の弧に対して日本列島が大きい印象を受けます。海岸沿いに人間の活動があるのが一目瞭然ですね。

もう少しズームインした画像を見ると、右から巨大な東京、名古屋、大阪の灯がよくわかります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.45: Japan
Astronaut Onishi captured beautiful night view of Japan. The island looks somewhat larger than preconceived size. It is clear human activities are located on the coastlines.

Zooming in, from right to left, lights of monstrous Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka can be spotted.
