Earth at Night
Here's 
a nice little addition to your My Places which shows what the earth looks like from space at night.
Astronomers see this picture as light pollution ruining our views of the heavens. Environmentalists see this as wasted energy. I have to agree with both. It wouldn't take very much for us to start creating better lighting systems that light the ground, not the sky. But, still, this picture is pretty!

Light pollution is indeed a problem, but you're right, Frank, it's a beautiful sight from space.

Ah I've never been a person to complain about light pollution. Canada looks like a very empty place though.

Ah, so many ugly lights all over the planet.... Dark skies are hard to find these days, except, apparently, in the middle of South America.
