If I see we are approaching some land mass, I do my best to make it to a window. Armed with a map. Points along the coastlines are the easiest to identify. Cities are tougher, especially if inland. Brownish dots and rectangular shapes.
Clouds always make it challenging.
Flew into sunset today over Indonesia. Billions and billions of stars. I don't know the stars very well. Most people don't. Weeks, maybe months pass, and we don't even look up.
