Take the hi res USA photo and import it into a decent editor to see the ground around the Grand Canyon, salt flats, Ely Nevada etc. It makes it even better.

Oil operations in Siberia.
India: could be cookfires as well as electrification as elsewhere.
Western Australia shouldn't be that bright. I heard they were brushfires?
You can see the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Also, take a look at the U.S. midwest/plains states. Orderly, regular grid of lights following highways.

I think that’s Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland. Cosy little thing they got going there, I guess.

Despite false claims about the Great Wall of China, electric lights are the ONLY man-made object visible from space.

Does anyone know how much of the planet’s actual land mass is populated? My guess is that it’s only about 15%.....
