This composite image, which has become a popular poster, shows a global view of Earth at night, compiled from over 400 satellite images. NASA researchers have used these images of nighttime lights to study weather around urban areas.

I think about those dark wilderness areas. They exist but shrinking fast. Light pollution. Energy consumption.

Ho dark some of those bright areas were just 10 years ago. India. Polar ice.

When every inch of the globe is lit like Europe.

Trantor.
