    The document discusses NASA images called "SATELLITE PHOTO OF EARTH AT NIGHT" which are compiled using data from defense satellites to show the geographical distribution of cities through nighttime lighting. These images are not actual photos but clearly show that cities are concentrated in parts of Europe, the eastern USA, Japan, India, and eastern China, making it a useful map for viewing patterns of nighttime electricity consumption for outdoor lighting across different regions.
