        There is another like this somewhere which shows a large void in the North East US / Southern Ontario from that enormous blackout...what, a year ago now?
        "I would like nothing more than to walk around
        wearing a shirt with a giant arrow pointing
        downwards, but I have this strange feeling
        that most people would take it as some kind
        of sexual suggestion rather than an attempt
        to infer one's final destination."

            Yes! I remember that shot. Very cool, just one big gap in the USA.

                wow...good eyes


                almost makes south korea look like an island - but, not really
                The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves. 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

                                    They have links to high res versions there. It's a great image.

                                    One of the links: http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/viewrecord?5826 has a 40Mb 16384w x 8192h TIFF of the image. How's that for high res?

                                                    That would've been cool to see too, but that "blackout" picture is fake.

                                                    Is This a Real Satellite View of a North American Blackout?

                                                    Photograph shows a satellite view of a North American power blackout?
