Cool.

I like how you can see all the cities light up. There's a lot of light coming from an area on the coast of Africa. I wonder what that is.

it is the flaring of gas from the Nigerian oil fields.

When you extract oil with it comes gas which is hard to sell and hard to transport as it tends to just float away. So a lot of oil companies just burn it. This is what you are seeing and it is also a huge cause of greeenhouse gasses.
