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.

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