Could this be for real?

Yup. That's real. It's showing the levels of light pollution (which basically means that you can't see the bloody stars).

Isn't it great to see China light up like that?

Isn't this just amazing? I had a poster similar to this many many years ago. I wish I could compare.

We live in one of those "dark" spots - much to my delight.

No doubt about it. When I was in Wyoming I was blown away by the amount of stars I could see. It was a Godly experience for me.

That sounds real nice, Nomad.

The stars were amazing when I first moved here to AZ too. They're still pretty but the light pollution really messes them up a bit.

Only if it's a composite picture - it cannot be night everywhere at once :wah:

Baz strongly denied that claim, describing the allegations to be "a pure lie", and saying that he only denied the rotation of the earth.
