  •  
    "Flying over East Asia, astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) took this night image of the Korean Peninsula. Unlike daylight images, city lights at night illustrate dramatically the relative economic importance of cities, as gauged by relative size.

They plan to establish many more over the coming months, despite criticism that they could encourage people to give up their babies.
