Ankara, the capital of Turkey, stands out in bright shades of white and yellow in this nighttime photograph taken by an astronaut from the International Space Station on March 25, 2020. The colors come from different light bulb technologies, and broadly outline a separation between industrial and residential areas. The industrial city of Sincan (bottom of image), for example, emits powerful white light, while yellow streetlights add a warm glow to neighborhoods that show up with signature red rooftops during the day.
