The world's mountains and oceans pale in comparison to the empty space that surrounds us.
While humanity may appear quite insignificant when viewing the globe from above, the borders that divide us can actually become clearer than ever, acting as symbols of political and economic divides.

All of the images below were taken either by astronauts on the ISS or by orbiting satellites.
