    That's a fake one. Look how black the NE is compared to Northern Canada / the sea etc.

    A big difference between before and after, but the area never approached anywhere near completely dark.

    Umm, sad, yeah. I was merely being informative. Next time I'll pepper it with lots of :Ds and :)s.

    I thought it was interesting, and that's why I posted it. No offence was meant and I'm sorry that you took that from it.

    Geostars are digital communication messaging and navigation satellites, not imaging devices

    ...from that forum

    The nerd in me is going "oooh, interesting" :D

    TBH I never even noticed the remark about the GeoStar. I suppose most of us have the stereotypical view of every satellite having cameras trained on earth. Some of course with lasers.

    I can just imagine Sky Digital HQ..

    "Quick, 43 Parkway St are getting in NTL. Arm the laser.."
