It's beautiful, I can even see the toilet light of my house. However, the picture should be some manipulation because the entire globe is immersed in darkness.

Probably the most beautiful city at night is Hong Kong:

upstream, you are right about it being manipulated

The above image is actually a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the orbiting DMSP satellites


I think the picture puts things in perspective. It's even a little humbling. All this confusion and war going on, all of the arguing, heart-break, upset etc. and yet we're still just a planet of lights [:P] In more ways than one.
