Researchers use these images of nighttime lights to study weather around urban areas. Weather stations were classified as urban, near-urban or rural depending on the brightness around them and their records adjusted to account for human influence. These images are actually a composite of hundreds of pictures made by U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellites Program (DMSP). The Nighttime Lights of the World is compiled from the October 1994 - March 1995 data, which was collected when moonlight was low.

See the wolrd at night!

If you go to International Station, you won\'t be able to see this nice spectacle from there. It\'s not possible because our lights have not that power. This pictures (and movie) may have be done artificially based upon diverse data regarding population and towns. Or perhaps they\'ve used some special camera aimed to detect this type of lux or whatever. Anyway, it\'s cool.
