I find this picture amazing and disturbing at the same time. Its amazing to me because the beauty of the lights of earth. The disturbing part of it is that the picture shows how much more energy America uses than other countries. The eastern half of the U.S is brighter then all of Europe. China, which population is much lager than ours, uses way less energy.
I feel just like you; it is pretty, but should we use so much energy. It would be better to look up at the sky at night and see all of the stars instead of the street lights blocking their splendor.
