Scary Pictures

Below are links to two satellite pictures taken at night. Both show the Korean peninsula, one with a somewhat wider view than the other. My research department was assigned the task of verifying that these had not been photoshopped. They can't find anything to suggest that the pictures are a hoax, or otherwise don't show what they appear to show.

Your assignment for today is to look at both pictures, and look particularly at North Korea. If the utter darkness there doesn't scare you, then you're just not paying attention.
