## Description

Cities at Night is an innovative platform that harnesses the beauty of photographs taken from space to build a map of the Earth at night. With almost half a million pictures taken by astronauts on the International Space Station, Cities at Night has created a database that showcases stunning images of our planet. What sets Cities at Night apart is its utilization of pictures with up to 150 times more resolution than previously used, resulting in real-color images with a resolution of up to 5 meters per pixel. This high resolution allows for the detection of both excessive amounts and inefficient types of light, making Cities at Night an invaluable tool in combating light pollution. By pinpointing the best stargazing areas and identifying areas with light pollution issues, Cities at Night helps protect our planet and preserve the beauty of the night sky. Become a part of the mission to safeguard our world while enjoying breathtaking images captured from space.
