Europe at night, 1993-2003 changes
Europe at night, showing the change in illumination from 1993-2003. This data is based on satellite observations. Lights are colour-coded. Red lights appeared during that period. Orange and yellow areas are regions of high and low intensity lighting respectively that increased in brightness over the ten years. Grey areas are unchanged. Pale blue and dark blue areas are of low and high intensity lighting that decreased in brightness. Very dark blue areas were present in 1993 and had disappeared by 2003. Much of western and central Europe has brightened considerably. Some North Sea gas fields closed in the period.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable changes in illumination across Europe from 1993 to 2003, as observed by satellites. The color-coded lights provide a visual representation of these transformations. The emergence of vibrant red lights during this period signifies new sources of illumination that sprouted across the continent. Meanwhile, regions highlighted in orange and yellow depict areas with high and low intensity lighting respectively, which experienced an increase in brightness over the course of ten years. Interestingly, the image also reveals grey areas that remained unchanged throughout this decade-long span. On the other hand, pale blue and dark blue regions represent locations where lighting intensity decreased – lighter shades indicating a decline in high-intensity lighting while darker hues symbolize a reduction in low-intensity lighting. Notably, very dark blue areas present in 1993 completely vanished by 2003. The most striking observation is how western and central Europe have significantly brightened over time due to industrialization and urbanization processes taking place within these regions. Additionally, it is worth noting that some North Sea gas fields ceased operations during this period, leading to changes in illumination patterns. This mesmerizing snapshot offers valuable insights into Earth's transformation during the early years of the 21st century. It sheds light on human activities impacting our planet's night-time appearance while highlighting differences between various European cities such as London, Rome, Berlin, Moscow, Paris among others. Overall, it serves as a testament to humanity's influence on our surroundings through technological advancements and societal progressions.
