What's up at Arsenal?   
I used to live around Highbury stadium so had a quick look at the 
satellite pic the other day.  What's on the pitch at the stadium?  
Looks like a load of antennas or something...

They're artificial sun lights - designed to help the grass grow
better. A lot of grounds use them.

Ahah (and Ahoyahoy).

Thanks guys.  I had wondered if it was some kind of lighting because of
the light shading around the arms, but then thought that might be an
artifact of digital compression.  I was thinking of the light in terms
of the reconstruction, but couldn't make sense of that.
