+  ### About
+
+  NASA’s Black Marble night lights dataset offers a unique view of Earth at night, capturing light emissions from human activities such as cities, roads, and other infrastructures. The data is collected by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor aboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite. By observing changes in night-time illumination, this dataset enables a deeper understanding of human activity patterns, urban expansion, and the impact of natural disasters on power and infrastructure.
+
+  Black Marble night lights data can be used to analyze changes in lighting before and after a natural disaster. By highlighting areas where illumination was disrupted or diminished, the dataset provides key insights into regions experiencing power outages, which can be critical for assessing recovery needs and the pace of restoration efforts. This data helps to identify and prioritize areas where support may be required for a faster community recovery.

+
+  ### What Night Lights Data Offers
+
+  * High-Resolution Nighttime Imagery: Captures detailed views of light emissions at night, providing a clear picture of human activities and their distribution across the landscape.
+
+  * Temporal Change Analysis: Enables examination of changes in night lights over time, which is crucial for understanding the impacts of disasters, urban growth, and other factors on nighttime visibility.
+
+  * Disaster Impact Assessment: Particularly useful for assessing the effects of natural disasters, this dataset highlights areas affected by power outages, offering insights into recovery dynamics and areas in need of intervention.
