Yeah. On a more serious note, I don't like the way a buoyant economy always seems to go hand-in-hand with massive light pollution (or any pollution for that matter). Poor buggers on China's eastern seaboard don't get to see any star other than the sun (maybe) most times. In North Korea the stargazing from your backyard is great, except you can't afford a back yard. Reverse is the case for us westerners. So wrong.
Fascinating. And it's interesting how the entire border between the North/South is clearly lit up. I recall seeing a similar image showing the brightly lit border between, I think, India and Pakistan.
