I have spent 23 years documenting the global LED transition of city lighting from space.
Across my 4 missions to the ISS, I have photographed every major city on Earth, building a data set of the gradual replacement of sodium vapor lighting with LEDs.
The warmer, yellow-orange of gas discharge lamps has been phased out worldwide to multi-colored LEDs, citing energy savings and environmental reasons.
Widespread adoption has markedly changed the way our cities look from orbit, and as many have pointed out, how they feel to those on the ground!
Here is a collection of the most striking before-and-after photos I have observed:
@Wonder Do your brick and mortar stores sell gift cards? Any way to get a tangible card for a sympathy gift? Took a trip to Wonder in Deer Park to grab one and the employee could not assist or inform. A disappointing first experience. Apologies but GrubDash it is….

I'm glad I got to say my goodbyes in person last February. Susan, Davey Johnson's wife, told me that my dear friend and manger of our 1986 World Championship team had passed away at the age of 82.

Here's Reggie Jackson walking into a SNY Mets broadcast to say hi to Keith Hernandez and winding up in an in-game interview. Complete with a Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto story. (H/T @DyHrdMET.)
@ShopifySupport Much appreciated! All Shopify Apps on iPads, and https://t.co/TTQYLPrMuW on wired desktops will not connect, but if I take my phone off Wi-Fi it is connection city via cellular, so investigating internally. Thank you again.
@ShopifySupport Thank you, that link would not connect upon further investigation leads me to believe this is possibly a local issue. Working with the IT team to see, will access the link for support if they come up empty. Thank you for your assistance.
@ShopifySupport Hi Victor @ShopifySupport ! Our POS iPads will not connect, https://t.co/TTQYLPrMuW will not load on desktop (site can’t be reached) and my phone app will not connect either. Have a friend in same county with same issues
@TalktoHenryJ Yup 👎🏻 @Shopify has no alert or mention tho. Down detector confirms. Just started with them, will need to explore other options, downtime is bad enough but no communications is a sin.
@HoffWFAN Voice is ok: https://t.co/wiVpNUx1Y3
Maybe @WFAN660 can do some digital magic, put a Mets jersey on him, cut in some Mets lowlights, we’ll get the real feel! @EvanRobertsWFAN
