Q: Did Sunita Williams take the pictures from space of the earth in light darkness that is currently circulating?

A: If the pictures this question refers to are the day/night shots, the answer is no. These are satellite pictures but most of them have been enhanced and some of them are composites. As far as exhaustive investigation goes, Sunita Williams took none of these.

Too bad the /human/ inhabitants of that gorgeous planet do not treat it with the care and respect it deserves.

8. Beautiful, but some of them must be composites and photoshopped on a starry
background. For instance, in order for the northern hemisphere to be at night at all at the same time, the Sun must be at zenith on the South Pole. That never happens.
