Comments on: Stunning images of Earth from space http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/06/10/stunning-images-of-earth-from-space/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

The atmospheric glow is also beautiful. There are so many exceptional pictures of space or from space looking down on Earth in NASA's huge collection of pictures.

The "stars" on that photo is all over the place even on earth and the spacecraft itself. http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/shuttle_06_08/12.jpg Very nice pictures indeed, but the one with the text: “Lightning flashes, city lights, sunset, Aurora Australis, atmospheric glow and some stars, seen over Argentina on 4/23/2003″ looks like a picture that have been lying around in a bottom drawer for ten years or so.
