This photo was taken via satellite, on a cloudless day. 
Note how the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, 
and Barcelona, and how it's still daylight in London, 
Lisbon, and Madrid. 

The sun is still shining on the Straight of Gibraltar, 
and the Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness. In 
the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the 
Azores Islands; below them to the right are the 
Madeira Islands; a bit below are the Canary Islands;
and further south, close to the farthest western 
point of Africa, the Cape Verde Islands.

Note how the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly
both during Daytime and nighttime. 
To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen.
