We found Padraic.
Don't be silly, Those lights are in the Kimberley, Plibara and Interior; (No where near Padraic - Stop teasing Min!)... umm where nobody lives. So just what is the satellite picking up??

Mine sites dear.
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

So just what is the satellite picking up?? Military installations and mining ops maybe? Both enjoy lighting shit up like the 4th of July. Is there really nothing there? I mean, even sparse somethings might put off serious umbra if the lights are just freestanding, not angled or covered.
ah, zen beat me to it, missed that post-

I read an article a while back that said if the current rate of growth was sustained the I-85 corridor from Atlanta through Charlotte and Greensboro over to Raleigh would become one large metro area by the start of the 21st century. From the looks of the pic it is well on its way.
It also kind of reminds me of the filaments that connect galaxies.

Or more likely, that the majority of the USA is flat as a fucking pancake.
