Visible Earth: Earth’s City Lights
A beautiful high resolution photograph from NASA of the Earth’s city lights. Simply beautiful, reminds me of a quote, scientist can only dream of going to space but it is the astronaut that goes to space, how ironic.
Even more than 100 years after the invention of the electric light, some regions remain thinly populated and unlit. Antarctica is entirely dark. The interior jungles of Africa and South America are mostly dark, but lights are beginning to appear there. Deserts in Africa, Arabia, Australia, Mongolia, and the United States are poorly lit as well (except along the coast), along with the boreal forests of Canada and Russia, and the great mountains of the Himalaya.

There you go, VOA News reports that Nasa plans to build a moon base. With the US and her on going war, I wonder how is Nasa going about funding the project knowing that the US is in big debt. If thing continue to worsen, a recession might hit and there goes the human civilization.
The United States says it plans to establish the first permanent human base on the moon by 2020 at the latest. The space agency NASA has revealed its plans for locating the outpost and for a landing craft that would carry astronauts from the base to explore other regions. VOA’s David McAlary reports from Washington.
No image of the moon base from Nasa but here are some of the past concept by artist around the world.
