MetroManila really is that bright. Lights are concentrated on the west coast of Taiwan because much of the east coast is very rugged and the mountains behind it are even more rugged. When flying, you can see an extraordinary amount of light all the way across the frozen north of Russia - you are never out of sight of a mine or an industrial complex or a city. Brilliant!

It also showed up in Al Gore's film followed by one showing where all the forest fires had been in the course of a year, which was instructive, indeed illuminating! tigtog, there is a reproduction of this pic in James Lovelock’s book The Revenge of Gaia for obvious reasons.

The first one published had caught the Japanese fishing fleet at sea, made more lights than South Korea, in the middle of the ocean. Also there were oilfield fires in Russia at the time.

North Korea- no surprises there. Check out the disparity between Java and the rest of Indonesia. Not sure if that's a reflection of pop. density or power... probably both.

Where the lights stop on the Korean Peninsula is also (ahem) illuminating. See too the lights on the west side of Taiwan, facing mainland China.
