Peter Pesti of the Georgia Institute of Technology has created a Google Map that merges a nighttime map of the world with the Google Maps data. The result is an interactive map that allows the user to zoom in on regions of the world and see how they would look from above at night. Cities stand out as patches of bright light. It clearly shows economic and population patterns.
