Dear friends:
 
In my two-part message yesterday about the earth's burgeoning population as witnessed from lights seen from airplanes, I wanted to include an awesome NASA satellite photo of these lights but I could not find it.  But thanks to a friend, I found it at http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0011/earthlights_dmsp_big.jpg

Scroll right to see the rest of the world.

Remember that the photo is taken from a very high altitude satellite.  Most dark spots on the ground that you may see probably has many dots of light that could be seen from a lower flying airplane.
