Previous maps only showed the distribution of light sources. Their paper will appear in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Here is an AP article."

    Sounds like you don't know yourself. Flaming to cover ignorance. It's a common tactic. Now flame some more and prove my point.

    light polution... probably one of the least dangerous polutions, but I bet you're gonna see the USA scream murder for this. They'll probably launch some very groovy campaign to stop people turning on the light. Burning fosil fuels ? drilling oil in alaska ? warming up the earth ? naaaaah all fairy tales ! Light polution, THAT's the evil of tomorrow ! ha... suck my little fat one, G.W.B. !

    Do you even know what a facist is? Note that "you" is not a valid response. Provide us a definition please.

    I recently began listen to Rush Limbaugh at work, instead of taping it an dlistening to it at home. Since then, I've noticed that the liberals at work quit bothering me as much and I got a promotion.

    Pissing off the left... is fun. And W rules all your asses. Just learn to live with it.
