European Panorama at Night (NASA, International Space Station, 01/22/12)
Image by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center
Editor's note: I LOVED coming in to this fantabulous image this morning. What a scene the crew has captured! Posted to the NASA Views Earth at Night photoset: www.flickr.com/photos/28634332@N05/sets/72157625188331491/
With hardware from the Earth-orbiting International Space Station appearing in the near foreground, a night time European panorama reveals city lights from Belgium and the Netherlands at bottom center, the British Isles partially obscured by solar array panels at left, the North Sea at left center, and Scandinavia at right center beneath the end effector of the Space Station Remote Manipulator System or Canadarm2.

Peace on Earth
Image by World of Good
We're going to attempt to fly out of snow into desert for the holiday, so we just wanted to wish a very Merry Christmas to all the people whose images we've loved and whose comments we've appreciated this year. Flickr is amazing. Looking forward to more images and words in 2011, along with peace, prosperity and progress for all the people of the world. Except Stuart from The Apprentice. Oh, go on then; Stuart too.
