    Not all the world is in darkness at the same time. I guess they left a camera exposed as a satellite was orbiting the earth capturing every part of the earth whilst it was in darkness. Something like that anyhow.

    Amazing to think that even in the desert there are many lights...
    Why, it's not like civilization doesn't exists at all in the desert. I live in Phoenix (well, technically a suburb of Phoenix...), and we are like the 6th biggest city in the US. So it's not that suprising at all to see lights in the desert.

    But anyways, that picture is really cool.

    RE: the one-liners: I think that this gives even more proof that GD posts shouldn't go towards your post count. I know of several boards that don't count GD towards your post count, but then usually there is more spam in the other boards. I guess it's sort of a toss up.

    All those sorry ass Communist/former Commi countries have no lights - especially look at NORTH KOREA compared to SOUTH.

    Yes, otherwise it could have been used to prove that the earth is flat and that every location experiences night at the same time.
