hi brianclark,
considering its a 7 year exposure... and this observatory was placed in a 450km orbit (likely not equatorial), I would say that its unlikely the spots represent exact locations as you suggest
on the other hand I have no idea how they went about taking that image... it seems a little unlikely that they got an image with such an emphasis on one side over a whole 7 years... am I missing something?
