    Guys, Yoda and Kermit are goddamn muppets, Gollum and Dobby aren't.

    They have no place with the gods.

    There are some incredible photos of the Aurora Borealis from last night caused by the solar flare.

    Example:

    I'll admit that the 8000x8000 resolution option on that picture is definitely "cool" but is there anything else I'm missing? It's just a picture of the Earth taken from space, yes? I mean, again, that's cool... but just making sure. ;)

    Yeah, mainly for the detail in the 8000x8000 version.

    Yeah, I having serious issues placing that pic. Either it's taken at an extremely weird angle, and basically the whole of South America is covered by cloud, or I have no fucking idea what continent is shown in the pic. And since their all pretty recognizable... yeah.

    The brown of what appears to be North America is really confusing as well, Especially because neither of the polar caps appear to be visible at all.

    Everything about the picture just screams "can't be right" to me. Maybe it's some sort of representation of what the world would look like after global warming or some shit?

    Edit: Here are a few comments which could explain some of this.

    Edit2: Have a link for the description and comments page for the pic.
