I'm pretty certain both of these pics are phony. In theory, they are NASA satellite images. This top one seems questionable to me. I don't think Greenland and the North Pole ice would show up that well in a night-time image. Also, the "tail" of Alaska seems to extend loonnnggg way towards Siberia.
This bottom one's even shakier. Lots of red lighting for no discernible reason. Ditto for the blue lights, especially those clusters between Scotland and Norway. Still, these are way-cool pics.

Photoshop is a blessing and a curse sometimes. But I agree, definitely a neat idea.
the more i look at these images, the phonier they get.
on the top one, it's theoretically half a globe. so we should be able to see clear down to the equator. it barely goes below Florida.
and the northern parts of the Europe image are skewed large. Norway looks bigger than the rest of western Europe. that always happens when you try to project a map of the earth onto a flat surface. phony, phony, krel-but-phony.
er... kewl-but-phony.
