News of the day : "Is the extra light produced on Diwali strong enough to be captured from outer space? Probably not, says NASA, the U.S. space agency. But the image they released of India at night is pretty spectacular nonetheless.
News of the day : "Is the extra light produced on Diwali strong enough to be captured from outer space? Probably not, says NASA, the U.S. space agency. But the image they released of India at night is pretty spectacular nonetheless.
The image, taken on Nov. 12 – when the celebrations for the Hindu festival of lights were in full swing – shows Indian towns and cities brightly lit. Brightest of all is New Delhi, followed by major cities like Kolkata, Mumbai and Bangalore. Beyond India’s borders, the image gets darker. The biggest exception is the Pakistani city of Karachi.
The picture of India was one of several images of the Earth at night shared by NASA scientists. These images were taken at night by a new satellite that captures the glow produced by man-made or natural sources more vividly than ever before.
