Yeah, Bok, yours are totally more believable. There would be enough generators going to keep some lights on, particularly in the larger cities, as you can see in your pic.

Those are just cool! I think we need to have blackout nights just for fun when we deliberately turn all the lights off for no reason other than to see the stars. Do you think anyone would do it? I think it would be awesome!

Apparently there was this one atronomer in Cleaveland who set up telescopes to see the stars. I agree with ak, I think we should set a date to blackout cities so that we can see the stars.

Awesome, Porce! You've got a good view of the stars, then? Tell us what you can see!

Very cool, I should have thought about finding pictures like this... but if course I didn't. Yay people who did!
