RELEASE: 12-422 NASA-NOAA SATELLITE REVEALS NEW VIEWS OF EARTH AT NIGHT WASHINGTON — Scientists unveiled today an unprecedented new look at our planet at night. A global composite image, constructed using cloud-free night images from a new NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite, shows the glow of natural and human-built phenomena across the planet in greater detail than ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\nHere is a cropped view from the 99mb .tif file that shows the kingston area in 2012 october
\nfrom left to right are:
\ntrenton, belleville, napanee, kingston, gananoque, brockville, ogdensburg
\nTo the top are perth & smith falls
\nto the bottom right is watertown<\/p>\n

I’m still trying to get a better resolution version<\/p>\n

I think I can identify verona, hartington and harrowsmith.
\nThat might be colebrook and yarker
\nThen that would be camden east and newburgh and maybe the strathcona paper centre facility<\/p>\n

The blob down near the bottom would be picton
\nAnd we’ll need Susan’s help in identifying the various blobs west of kingston along the shoreline.
