Can anyone tell where this is in the background? My first guess was maybe Sardinia but after checking a map I don't think that could be it.

Wow
What a question.

I'd say Japan.

Nope
Looking at the peninsular shape at the southeast end, I thought "Kauai" ... then I saw a nearby land mass to the NE, so that can't be it.

Have no idea

It's New Zealand
That's the North and South Island.

I looked at it in Google Earth
Because I'm such a dork sitting here on a Friday night with nothing better to do.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're right.  It's weird how different it looks, but yeah, I can see it.

Wow
Is that a real, unretouched image?

Why do they appear closer to Earth than other space shots?
