The End of Night
***EXCLUSIVE***
SPACE - UNDATED: Europe at night seen from Space.
These incredible images show the world's staggering light pollution from space. Scientist Felix Pharand-Deschênes created the stunning images to highlight mankind's sheer waste of energy. London, Paris, Berlin and Madrid in the west are all burning bright spots - while Africa, South America and large swathes of Asia remain in complete darkness. The maps have been championed for highlighting the west's considerable energy waste. The maps - created using data gathered by satellites showing light pollution - also highlight the contrast between first and third world. Egypt's densely populated River Nile scorches a path through the darkness of Northern Africa. And Japan is wall-to-wall light - in direct contrast to the lightless central Asia and India.
