Sunita Williams captured photos of the Earth at night from the International Space Station, including shots of a sandstorm leaving North Africa, the Gibraltar Straits between Europe and Africa, the Swiss Alps, Iceland, the Black Sea, and the Red Sea. A satellite photo shows lights already on in cities in Europe like Paris and Barcelona but still daylight in others like London, Lisbon, and Madrid, with the Azores islands visible in the ocean. Another photo shows nightfall over Brazil, with lights visible in major cities like Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and others. A final photo shows nightfall in the United States, with dense lighting visible in cities from Boston to Washington D.C.
