    Where's all the light pollution on Earth? I thought you could always see the man-made lights down on Earth from space even at night.

    Reminds me of George Carlin's Hippie Dippy Weatherman....

    "Tonight's forecast calls for widely scattered dark. With continued dark until in the morning."

    Thank god it wasn't a photo of Uranus.

    I'd guess that exposure time has something to do with the absence of lights in the picture, much like why you don't see stars in the pictures taken on the surface of the moon.
