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.

You can actually see in the photo that Eastern CT, along with RI and the Cape still had power.

though technically new england is ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, and RI. i think maybe only part of CT lost power during the blackout.

that hole is NY, NY, OH, etc.
