I'm seeing a few unusual things here...
being able to see the Aurora Borealis from the Equator over Africa.
All being able to see the ground (coastlines etc) at night.

Dunno about the Aurora, but coastlines at night show up like that illuminated by moonlight. You can see a reflected Moon in a number of scenes.
