Fake New Year

... Today I saw this image getting shared around on Twitter. The main source seems to be Paul Blanchard but it had also been tweeted by AtheistEarth over an hour before him. Paul claims it is via @apod - it isn't - and that is why I'd first picked up on it. The tweet says:Wow. Satellite photo taken at the stroke of midnight GMT on New Years Eve! (Via @apod) pic. twitter. com/WEDKLI3x. The implication is that this colourful image is due to new year celebrations. Can you spot the mistakes?Not the vie
