More information:

British Isles, satellite image. Major cities and populated areas in the United Kingdom and Ireland appear bright. Wind farms can be seen in the North Sea (right). This is a mosaic of seven images obtained in December 2021 by the NovaSAR-1 satellite. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is able to see through cloud cover and discriminate very well between different types of land cover.
