That's a "Wow!" from me.

apologies, meant to reply to Ars

That is awesome, sure, but not quite Blue Marble or Solar System portrait.

Still wow

Neat! Traditional astrophotography sometimes features star trails from Earth's point of view, but this is a better more "universal" perspective, in which it is Earth's cities that are streaking past below. Truly amazing what one can see from outside the atmosphere.

Y'all also see the Enterprise in orbit, right?
