Blackout 2003
It turns out that this picture is a hoax. Snopes-Blackout shows the info. Thanks to my new friend and fellow TypePadder gemini for the heads up.

Is this the coolest photo or what?!?! My housemate and colleague Sarah e-mailed this to me. A satellite photo of the USA taken during the evening of the "Great Blackout of 2003".
Absolutely amazing. Look at the pic closely and you can see some of the black holes just around the large black region where there are metropolitan areas that were affected.
Very Cool. Thanks Sarah!
