Explanation:
Can you find your favorite European city?
The above digital fantasy
of
Europe
at Night is a digital composite of archived
satellite images taken
both during the day and night.
This image
is different from what an astronaut would see for reasons including a
complete lack of clouds and an
unrealistic exaggeration of lights and
contrasts.
Even so, the geography underlying the image is captivating.
Nighttime light
patterns have been accumulated from the
USAF
Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System.
