North Korea from Space (2/28/2014)

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station recently snapped this startling photograph of one of the most mysterious places on Earth.  As you can see, the image shows North Korea, or, more specifically, where North Korea would be if it weren’t cloaked in complete and utter darkness.  Compare the size of Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, to Seoul, its South Korean counterpart.  Also, lest you forgot, it is perhaps worth repeating that North Korea now has access to nuclear weapons.  Yeah.  You can click on the image above for a larger version, and you can read what others have written about the image here and here.
