Anybody else wonder how they managed to take the "photograph"
while it was dark everywhere on the planet?

They've told us lies about the shape of the Earth - it's flat like a pizza!

I liked the image very much, without thinking of pollution or war.
But the image has not been "taken from the Boeing built Space Station last
November", the text on the website says it's "a composite of hundreds of
pictures made by the orbiting DMSP satellites."
