Fake. You cannot see standard city lights from space. The maximum range of a 10,000 candela lighthouse bulb in 90% perfect atmospheric conditions, disregarding the curvature of the earth, is about 30 miles. The ISS is about 220 miles away. If you stand between street lamps in your street at night, you can barely read a book.

@Ajay Mujumdar Nope. It doesn't work like that. Do your research! Accumulative light does not become greater than the sum. 2 x 10,000 candela bulbs produce 20,000 candelas, no more. Think about it. If the artificial light was as bright from space as these images suggest, and thus we're talking 1,000s of miles away in order for the Earth to appear in our vista at that scale, how bright would it appear to aircraft only 2-4 miles above? It would be impossible for pilots to see, they would be blinded by the intensity. You cannot see artificial light from the Earth in space. This is a fallacy, it's propaganda

@neoexplains You can't see city lights from space. This is misleading.

These images are fake.

@oldspice051 It's not what I say. It's science. I'm sure you've observed that light gets dimmer the further from its source. This is due to the inverse square law. This is further compounded by any disturbance from a frictional medium (in this case the atmosphere). The converse is also true. The closer you get to source, the brighter it appears. This shot of the earth assumes a distance of 1000s of miles away from the light sources. If the intensity is as bright as implied here from that distance, how bright would it appear only 2 miles above? Or even in amongst the source? This is impossible.

@ajaymuj I replied to you, but they deleted it....
