An interesting slip in the research-eu magazine. It has some beautiful sat images of earth.

This issue, produced in cooperation with the Helmholtz Association, combines Art and Science in a series of surprising satellite images. A world tour in technicolour…

You can preview them here:

By the way i had seen the Earth at night pic before, you can find it full-sized (i think its around 30mb) in the web. Its fantastic!
