Northern Italy must be a much more happening place than I thought.

Also: South America has a lot of untapped potential.

First time I ever saw the clear night sky in Utah, Montana, and Idaho I was mesmerized. Never had seen anything like that before or since. And I will never forget it.

Africa is always much much larger than I think it is.

Looks like the biggest solid blobs of light are in northern Italy and Belgium/Netherlands.

Much of Asia is indeed inhospitable.

Africa looks really dark.

The northeast is too populated....and American cities are over-lit.


Seriously? Do street lights really have to be that bright?

The earth doesn't look very populated


Estimated to be 7.125 billion people on Earth.

If you gathered them all together and arranged everyone to have 16 square feet all to themselves - a space 4ft x 4ft - it would require only 114 billion square feet to contain everyone.

114,000,000,000 square feet = 2,617,080 acres = 4,089 square miles.

Connecticut's land area is listed as 4,845 square miles so every man, woman and child alive on Earth today would fit inside Connecticut with room to spare. Delaware and Rhode Island are the only States too small for everyone to fit in.

Texas' land area is listed as 261,914 square miles. Doing the same exercise and giving each person as much room as possible, everyone on Earth would fit in Texas with 1,025 square feet available per person - an area approximately 32ft x 32ft.

The map doesn't make sense to me. New York City is 16 hours difference from Australia. Is it possible to be dark in both places at the same time?

There's nothing like a clear-sky, starry night from the middle of the ocean.

So dumb. If anything, this only shows population densities have their strongest correlations just above and below the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, respectively.
