OSINT At Home #27 – How to Track Wars, Disasters & Ships at Night https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/52cf2393-69e4-48ea-86df-0c08c862bd6e This tutorial is part of the OSINT At Home series: tutorials using practical case studies you can do right from your laptop. In this video, we explore how night-time imagery can reveal what’s really happening on the ground — from power blackouts and natural disasters, to conflict developments and urban growth. Using NASA’s Black Marble and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) night lights data, I’ll show you how to visualise changes over time, detect sudden disruptions, and track real-world events using open data. We’ll walk through: 01:14 - How to use NASA Worldview and Black Marble night lights data 02:59 - Analysing night lights VIIRS data over Ukraine 05:12 - Tracking the blackout in Gaza using NASA night lights 06:41 - Viewing blackouts after disasters with NASA Black Marble 07:53 - North Korea's night lights 08:54 - Tracking vessels at night with NASA Black Marble 10:03 - Using the timelapse feature to view NASA Black Marble night lights Whether you’re an OSINT researcher, journalist, or just curious about how satellites see our world, this episode will help you use night lights imagery to track change, conflict, and crisis, all from home. 🔗 Resources & Tools Mentioned NASA Worldview: https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/ NASA Black Marble: https://blackmarble.gsfc.nasa.gov VIIRS Night Lights (NOAA): https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/eog/viirs.html 📚 Watch Next How to geolocate war footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQLw-m2VXYw&t How to map seismic data and earthquakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRrCvWlzdEI How to identify a location from a video or photo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoqWbpZUOSo&t Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:50:31 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co OSINT At Home #27 – How to Track Wars, Disasters & Ships at Night https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/52cf2393-69e4-48ea-86df-0c08c862bd6e All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
