Australia at night

Interesting, but what's all those lights in far WA and NT ?

Hi Val

Thanks for the link, very interesting. I liked the straight lines in the water from the fishing boats.


Cheers

Thanks for the link guys. Absolutely beautiful to see, but a little scary to think how much energy we are using to generate all those lights, not to mention all the other consumers of energy we use.

Agreed Val - fascinating - well spotted - thanks for posting.

NASA have given some additional information on the lights here. Apparently the picture is made up of light from multiple passes/orbits, but the early idea that the lights in WA came from fires seems to now be confirmed. Have a look at the map to see a correlation between lights and burnt areas.

Cheers,

Val.
