I think at one point in our childhoods, when we were all asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?", and all of us answered "An astronaut!". And this picture can do a fine job to answer the follow up question, "Well, why do you want to be an astronaut?". That little speck on the dark side of the picture is the International Space Station -where astronauts can survive for periods of time in space. The ISS gets a nice view of sights skewed by our atmosphere -as well as the ability to look down on Earth. Tools are available on-line to let you know when the ISS will be visible from your location.
