Global Nighttime Lights Change (2014–2022)

This visualization shows the accumulated (starting from 2014) nighttime light change area of Earth, capturing human activity of the planet through the emissions of artificial light. Derived from satellite imagery taken daily over the past decade, this study maps the dynamics of the human night-time activity, with golden areas experiencing brightening, purple areas featuring dimming, and white areas experiencing both.
