• The Earth at night: where the world lit up and where it went dark

  

  Seen from space, the planet gave off 57% more light in 2024 than in 2012. Nepal’s light grew 9.3 times and Africa’s cities blazed up, while war halved the light of Ukraine and Yemen, and new LED street lamps made France look 40% darker than it is.
