Anyone interested in space needs to have seen this.

Footage from ISS of night lighting, lightning storms and aurora.

A few years "old" by now, but still equally striking.
It kinda represents what i'm hoping for in terms of day / night contrast for the game.
You can imagine the lightning being battles going on in the game, and the city lights being sprawling complexes of power plants and mass fabricators.
Perhaps in a few decades we'll have a PA sequel looking like this :lol:
