Satellite picture of Europe at midnight last night

All I took from this is that Nik carries £80 cash around with him in person.

NYE!!

And has anyone come up with a suitable answer as to why Ireland is redder than everywhere else?!

Very suspect colouring in that photo. Why is the middle east so alight? It was new year three hours earlier there.

Why are Moldova and part of Ukraine bright blue?

In a similar vein, this is well worth getting, by the way:

doppler shift; things moving away from you at relatavistic speed appear red, approaching appear blue

that or the GFC has made them that poor they've put dimmers on all the lights to save cash

Awesome pic. One at 1am would be interesting as most of Europe is 1 hr behind!
