NASA has another holiday gift to the world. This time it's a series of highly detailed photos of the dark side of Planet Earth. Interesting to see where the lights of human habitation are concentrated.
Many news outlets are featuring the photos. Here's the LA Times collection of photos

In the photos of USA, it's easy to see where the Interstate highways cross the mountain west and the great plains. I'm pretty sure the cluster of lights near Bismarck, ND are flares from natural gas wells.
What features of the photos attract your attention?
