It’s like staring at the night sky only instead of looking up to see stars and constellations, we’re looking at the bright lights of cities connected by highways. A Reddit user superimposed state boundaries and interstate routes onto a NASA photograph of the United States of America at night to show how and why things shine the way they do.

It’s like a puzzle where everything fits with each other except that bright patch in North Dakota, which is the Bakken oil field.
