It’s a picture of our beloved Cairo, at night, from space. The astronauts who managed to capture this image (and those of other cities) used a tracking system to cancel the blurring due to the swift orbital motion of the space station, producing sharp images with resolution of up to 60 meters!

“The brightest spot on earth: ________ , our beacon for humanity.” at 9:33
