Earth Observations

[Mobius]

I couldn't decide whether to put this in Photography or here, but since it's not my photography, it's here.

I'm sure most of you have seen NASA Earth Observatory's image of day (Archived Here), but if you haven't, it's an archive of some of the most amazing pictures of the planet.

Winds from west to east? My best guess.


Those are some neat shots.

Look at the island in the top and center of the picture.

I have no clue. Second guess is south to north.

Getting there, but not yet.  If north is up...



Think of a boat moving through the water, what does it create?

A wake...



So it's north to south?


EDIT: Wait...don't tell me that it is going vertical.

Yep.  An Island sized boat creating an island sized wake.

The only observation I've made about Earth is it is like scotch at a cheap wedding...... 2/3rds water
