Lot's of lights!

Great pic.......thanks.

Some things I thought were neat:

The Nile River looks like a line of lights.

Hawaii is just 5 or 6 big orbs of light. Lots of parties going on there!

Africa truly is The Dark Continent.

Look how dense the lights are in Japan.

HEY!! I SEE MY HOUSE!!!


Cool pic, but I thought it might be Kristen Dunst, Shannon Elizabeth, and Melissa Stark with some whipped cream and ...


oh, nevermind....

The eastern half of the US surprised me.......more lights than I thought.

 

[paul]

Fergy, that can be arranged.

DEW, Yup...we're packed in pretty tight over here.

That's a cool pic Paul. I've never seen the world in that view.

 

[WindyCityRacer]

Yeah...tres cool!

I live in one of those really really bright spots...

No wonder I can't see any stars at night

 

[DUPONT_24_fan]

Yeah around Iowa and Illinois is when the bright starts and the farther west you go its dim....those places must have no night life.
We already know Nebraska and the Dakotas are HO HUM. And look at Montana...IS THERE ANY LIFE THERE?

Where are all the lights in Canada? Some along the boarder, but that is about it.

Tell me about it.

Whenever I fly, I know I'm home when I see all the billions of lights New York emanates into the night sky. It's cool to look at, but I'd rather be in one of the dimmer spots on the map.

Great pic, though.

I think usa has over 300 million citizens now, while canada is larger then we are and doesn't even have 100 million population.

 

[Gollum]

That was really cool Did Canada forget to pay their light bill.

 

[dixieracer2002]

yeah thats a pretty good rough amount,

US has 77 people per square mile
Canada has 9 people per square mile
Compared to Japan with 127mil people at 875 per square mile

Kinda shows huh?


Awsome pic indeed, just hope that the world is never all dark at the same time
