    Picture: True or False?

    My mom got this in an email today and I eyed it with some suspicion. I say its fake. my reason, the area where the blackout occured is black, unlike the rest of the unlit areas which are a blue-grey color. What do you guys think?

      It is fake as far as I can tell. NASA released some photos of the affected area a while ago, and still quite a few lights were on due to geneerators.

      And how everything is jet black rather than a deep blue...

            The colours on these kind of pics are reworked by nasa before being shipped to public use anyways. It is somehow possible they emhasized the blackout zone using jet black there.

            But I'd also rather go with fake.

            Edit: definitely a fake actually. The image is quite smooth, but if you look at the borders of the blackout zone, you'll see they are sharp. A black zone has definitely been spraypainted on the image with Paint Shop Pro
