The glowing line along Earth’s limb-or edge of the atmosphere-is airglow, a type of light that is produced by chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere.

The blue-white patch on the far left is a flash of lightning, a common sight for astronauts. Ive had to resize it down but youll get the. Just trying the new Civilization in PD9 (Build 1) (Win7 guest, OSX 10.10 host) and while it mostly works ok, the game screen has really whacked out colours, see screenshot. In addition to the human activity, the photograph also showcases a few natural splashes of light and color. The game runs fine, all menus and things in game are fine, it is just everything else has the colour shift. The same study pointed out that two of the brighter points of light in the area are gas flares emanating from offshore oil infrastructure. According to one estimate based on satellite observations, there were over 500 fishing boats in the area on a single night in September 2014. Many of these vessels are likely fishing boats using bright lights to attract squid and other sea life. North of the city of Surabaya, the capital of East Java province, large numbers of boat lights dot the darkened Java Sea. The photo, taken on October 20, 2014, captured light from roads and cities, fishing boats, lightning, airglow, and even a few gas flares.
To the discerning eye, these lights reveal intricate details of both natural phenomena and the unmistakable footprints of human civilization. However, as this photograph-taken over the Java Sea by a member of the Expedition 42 crew onboard the International Space Station-reveals, at night these “nighttime lights” become visible.
The visible lights produced by modern civilization are often obscured by the more intense light of the Sun during the day.
