Summary:
- NASA has developed a new instrument called the Nighttime Lights Sensor (NLS) that can gather detailed data about nighttime light sources on Earth.
- The NLS can detect and measure the intensity of various types of artificial lighting, such as streetlights, buildings, and vehicles, providing valuable information about human activity and energy usage.
- This data can help scientists better understand the impact of human activity on the environment, as well as inform urban planning and energy efficiency initiatives.
