SHANGRALA'S

BETWEEN DAY & NIGHT!



Following is a beautiful photograph taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a perfect cloudless day.

Be Sure to read the text below it to have a better understanding of what you are actually viewing. Enjoy! :)

Shangrala's Between Day And Night



The line that divides day & night is called the "terminator." As the Earth rotates counterclockwise, the terminator appears to move from east to west (right to left). This picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights. The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert.

Note that the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and that's it's still daylight in Dublin, London, Lisbon, and Madrid . The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands; a bit below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa, are the Cape Verde Islands. To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen.

Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during day and night time.





Let This Picture be a Reminder to You of God's Promise To Us:

 Genesis 8:20-22
"And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
