Tim is 100% correct...Print it out...you can see the shade diffence all around. It looks more like paint then photoshop.

Tim's right. That one's a fake. These are the real deal:

THIS PIC MUST BE FAKE! It has to be fake FAKE. notice how dark the northeast is compared to the ocean and other uninhabited parts. This is why i think its photoshopped. I was at NASA's website recently and couldnt find a blacklout pic. The only ones i culd find were non-blackout pics. Here is what the US normally looks like at night
On a side note, I never realized how desolate the place i visited in canada was! there are NO lights at all. |
