Wow, it's so cool to see India's northern border so well defined just by the lights.

Check out Korea's northern border.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Is that what the ribbon of light is at 3:48 and again at 4:38? I couldn't quite place it.

:XD: 

Striking how the lights track human development, and darkness tracks, well, darkness.

Another cool thing is seeing how Trans-Siberian Railway is being lit up by the development it spurred.

Also Puerto Rico compared to Haiti and Cuba.

I read a paper once about how the Soviet policy of developing the Siberian cities was utterly retarded, in that they seriously warped the internal market by increasing transportation costs and cost more per capita to maintain habitability than they were worth, at least in comparison to the "real" cities that sprang up organically.

Lake Baikal's shoreline, if stretched out, would extend from Washington, DC to somewhere in Texas.

And the Aral Sea's shoreline would extend from one end of my bathtub to the other.

Further.  Shorelines are infinitely long.

My eyeballs froze/exploded when I clicked on the link.  Can someone describe it to me?
