Do not waste your tears, I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

If I haven't fired you yet, it's because I'm still firing your mom in bed.

So wait, you really CAN see all that light from space when looking at the dark side of the planet? That's...well, impressive considering our current level of advancement.

NOt really. It was in an article, but it took a few days, and some likes ome 2.5 Tb of data, and they had to compile the images.

The camera they were using was able to pick up light, that I don't think would be visible from space, like street lights and such.
