Satellite Captures Burning Man From Space 141
MikeCapone writes "A European Space Agency satellite has captured what has become one of modern society's most hedonistic adventures: Burning Man. Taken about 400 miles up, the picture shows Black Rock City in full swing along with all of its 50,000-something attendees. ESA compiled the photograph using four photos, each with a resolution of about 16 feet. "
The ESA has a high resolution version of the image available.

After I saw the picture I was quite disturbed that it was a High Resolution magnified image. It is like saying that when you use Google Earth to zoom into your house you go I can see my house from space.
I was thinking that this event was so big that it could be seen with the Unaided Eye (well the aid of air and pressure) from space. No it is just a zoom in picture.
