Video Descxtion:
In 2016, NASA used the Suomi NPP weather satellite to create a high resolution image of the earth at night. It can help us better understand the current developments and conflicts underway.
The amount of light pollution is most severe in heavily populated areas, as well as in regions of high prosperity.
In Europe, the Benelux region and the densely populated Po-Valley are so bright, that the individual towns blend into one big sea of light.
Especially in the Arab world, the extraction of oil creates bright lights from the flaring of gas.
And in Africa, you can trace the path of the Nile River, which, as the lifeline of egypt, attracts civilization and is filled with commercial boats.
This image points to the global challenges posed by the steadily increasing world population. And while man-made borders can not be seen during the day, the lines of political origin become apparent at night, but appear all the more absurd and artificial.
When viewed during daylight, the human influence on our planet is less obvious.
But this single image highlights the social divides and political strife from both the past and the present.

Why does the channel have a new name?
As you may have noticed, the channel has changed its name from "Society of Geeks" to "neo".
And to make this clear: It's not about a change of ownership, it's just taste.
When I launched the channel almost 3 years ago, I would have never thought the videos would get the attention they now have. The initial scope of the types of topics were very limited but now has expanded. The channel was thought to deal primarily with analysing films but now they have become more political. And the name should have the flexibility to fit for both aspects, as well as for any genres in the future that I can’t even think of right now.
And with this new name, it feels right to approach the next goals and really develope the channel into something exciting.
Thanks for your understanding.

视频描述:
2016年,美国宇航局利用Suomi NPP气象卫星拍摄了一张夜间地球的高分辨率图像,它可以帮助我们更好地了解当前的事态发展和正在发生的冲突。
在人口稠密的地区以及高度繁荣的地区,光污染最为严重。
在欧洲,比荷卢地区和人口稠密的波河流域(Po-Valley)是如此明亮,以至于各个城镇融合成了一个巨大的光海。
特别是在阿拉伯世界,石油的开采会通过燃烧天然气产生亮光。
而在非洲,你可以追溯尼罗河的路线。尼罗河作为埃及的生命线,吸引着文明社会,那里到处都是商船。
这幅图显示了世界人口稳步增长所带来的全球挑战。虽然白天看不到人为的边界,但在夜间政治划定的界线变得明显,但显得更加荒谬和刻意。
而在白天观察,人类对地球的影响就不那么明显了。
但这幅单一的图像凸显了过去和现在的社会分歧和政治冲突。
