Interesting. You can see that people in Australia live on the coast.

You’ve mistakenly listed the Arctic as Antarctica.

im fairly sure that isnt antarctica…

I was about to say that the antarctic is the southern end of our planet, not the northern. Santa lives in the arctic, not the antarctic. But Someone beat me to it. Nuts.

I’m not sure I understand how these photos were taken…for instance, the one showing “Antarctica”…i.e. the arctic seems to show the entire northern hemisphere (Russia, Europe, Canada etc) as having night all at the same time. Is this like a lunar eclipse or something where the sunlight to the whole world was blocked for long enough for all of us to turn our lights on at once? Did the earth roll over by accident so that the southern hemisphere has day and the northern night all at the same time? I get motion sickness pretty easily, so why didn’t I notice when this happened? Also, isn’t it odd that the background “stars” are all in the same positions in the photo…as though the “satellite” was stationary and the earth was rotated not only on its normal axis, but also up and down…like you can do with google earth.

If they’re sat images, they’re HEAVILY shopped. I’m doubtful they’re sat images, probably CREATED in photoshop.

There’s an actual satelite image mosaic by NASA made up with hundreds of individual pictures, it looks like it was just mapped onto a globe, probably in google earth or some similar program.

Still, very pretty.

um, thats just north america, what about the other half?

These Photos are definatly photoshopped. Look at the stars in the pictures. They are 100% identical. But they are still very amasing to look at

It looks a lot like that program “Folding” on the Playstation 3

pls show the brightest and dim cities
