Something tells me that this isn't a true photographic rendering. I think
it's a composite using population density and speculation. For example
India is totally lit up (high population with little electricity). Eastern
Colorado to Wichita should be almost black. Same with Iowa. What's that
bright light in northern Alaska? And there must be some huge ocean liners
in the oceans.
