EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image captures the beauty of Belgium by night, showcasing its heavily populated areas with a stunning intensity of light emissions. The bright spots indicate bustling cities and urban centers, while the shaded areas represent the country's borders extending beyond this frame. Belgium, nestled between neighboring countries such as the Netherlands in the north, Germany and Luxembourg in the east, and France in the southwest, is a nation rich in history and culture. Its capital city Brussels takes center stage on this print as it illuminates to the south of Antwerp – both vibrant hubs that contribute significantly to Belgium's charm. Notably, Brussels houses two influential organizations: The European Union (EU) headquarters and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). These institutions symbolize Belgium's pivotal role within Europe's political landscape. Antwerp shines brightly at center-top of this image, showcasing its status as a prominent urban area. As we explore this satellite view further, we are reminded of Belgium's diverse topography with its proximity to the North Sea visible towards its western border. This remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate not only Belgium's geographical features but also highlights how artificial light can paint an enchanting picture when viewed from space. It serves as a reminder that even during nighttime hours when darkness prevails elsewhere on Earth, nations like Belgium continue to radiate life and energy through their illuminated landscapes.
