So, why is it so flat...I mean, if this was taken from space, shouldn't there be some curves?

I said something similar to a date once. She slugged me. :yh_beatup















Kidding!

It looks flat because all you are seeing is light against a black background. If it was a daylight picture you would see the curvature of the earth.

Light pollution. Those lights should be hooded and directed down in the area that needs light.

The above image is actually a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the orbiting DMSP satellites. <---quoted from the text under that picture.

Looks as if it was a bunch of different pictures added together

That's a neat graphic though

Thanks, Clint and Mystery. Acc...I would have slugged you too. :sneaky:

You mean like "stupendtacular"?

The night one is especially interesting....look at the Congo and the great desert of Australia! And all that light from little Hawaii, and a few spots in Alaska! Amazing.

Wow, that is an awesome picture!:)

It gives meaning to the term "mind boggling," doesn't it?

It certainly does. And compared to other stars in the universe, it's still a tiddler:-2

"A tiddler?" What a wonderful word! I've never seen it and yet...it know what it means!
