SCIENCE 101:

Too kewl!!

The city lights of Spain and Portugal define the Iberian peninsula. Several large metropolitan areas are most clearly visible, including Madrid – located near the centre of the peninsula’s interior – and Lisbon aong the south-west coastline. Though obscured, the lights of France are visible near the horizon line on the upper left, while the lights of northern Africa are more clearly discernable at right. The faint gold and green line is airglow, caused by ultraviolet radiation exciting the gas molecules in the upper atmosphere
