Motown will come out of trouble a lot sooner than you think it will! Ask anyone from the area! - MyMultimedia
The Northeast Corridor! No Jersey jokes, please! - MyMultimedia
The Jersey Shore! It's very weird that people from other areas of the country often bash NJ, yet it's one of the top 10 states in visitor spending! It's on track to exceed $40 billion in a couple of years! - MyMultimedia
Thanks! In the case of Flickr it is possible to make requests for past time intervals, but in the case of Twitter you need to be watching as it happens to get the data.
So I'm thinking the pix are heavily orange in lovely places where folks want to take extra pictures (e.g., the Sierra Nevadas and Cascades), and the blue spaces are where people don't have anything to look at, so they're just talkin'.
Congratulations on this work. If you look on the lower right side, you will see Puerto Rico shining bright with this technology. Could you please post a closer look of Puerto Rico for us residents down here in the Caribbean? Thanks and congrats again...

Nice! Can you get bulk data over the API:s or did you have to download the data over time?

That is awesome, I love seeing cities from space at night. You can learn about population density from looking at this picture.

which map/projection did you use as the base? great composite.
Eric Fischer 23 months ago | reply
It's just cropped from the world map, so it is the same Peters projection as there, even though it isn't really appropriate for this smaller area.

I'm a tiny bit weirded out by people sharing this image without at all explaining what it is - 'Beautiful Planet Earth' shared it (with credit, but no link) on Google+ at and it's obvious that most of the commenters just assume it's a photograph...
