Remote sensing in the media has become ubiquitous, with satellite imagery appearing in everything from the news to sitcoms to blockbuster movies, and even commercials. Given the varying levels of quality and interpretability, there is much to think about and discuss!

Image of the day, September 20th
Korean Peninsula at night
You can see urbanization in South Korea with a major center in northern part being Seoul. There is the brightly lit DMZ (demilitarized zone) line dividing the two countries. In North Korea, there are only some lights here and there. A little towards what seems to be the capital city of Pyongyang, but nothing close to the South. It also shows the development that South Korea has undergone. What's really fascinating about this image is that you can practically see the entire outline map of South Korea and it is easy to mistake it for an island because of the darkness around it. This image can help us understand rates of development and urbanization as well as patterns of urbanization in the Korean peninsula.
