“The image is based on data collected by the VIIRS ‘day- night band’, which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared. The image has been brightened to make the city lights easier to distinguish,” it said.

“On November 12, 2012, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this night-time view of southern Asia,” NASA said releasing a picture of India on this Diwali night.

you yourself posted an article showing two different pics, in your own post, the below pic was taken by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2003 to show the population growth,

and NASA said :“An image that claims to show the region lit for Diwali has been circulating on social media websites and the Internet in recent years. In fact, it does not show what it claims.

That image, based on data from the Operational Linescan System flown on US Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, is a colour—composite created in 2003 by NOAA scientist Chris Elvidge to highlight population growth over time,” NASA said.

“In that image, white areas show city lights that were visible prior to 1992, while blue, green, and red shades indicate city lights that became visible in 1992, 1998, and 2003 respectively,” it said.

This pic is indeed taken on NOV 12 i.e. the night of Diwali. but the illumination due to diwali nights will be negligible that is also true.

Here it is from the Horse's mouth.

South Asian Night Lights : Image of the Day

Every fall, Hindus around the world light lamps, candles, and firecrackers as part of a five-day festival known as Diwali. The celebration, which has roots as a harvest festival, usually falls between mid-October and mid-November. In 2012, it began on November 11.

On November 12, 2012, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this nighttime view of southern Asia. The image is based on data collected by the VIIRS “day-night band,” which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared. The image has been brightened to make the city lights easier to distinguish.

Most of the bright areas are cities and towns in India, the country with the world’s largest Hindu population. India is home to more than 1.2 billion people and has 30 cities with populations over 1 million. (For comparison, China has 62 cities with more than 1 million residents and the United States has 9). Cities in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan are also visible near the edges of the image.

An image that claims to show the region lit for Diwali has been circulating on social media websites and the Internet in recent years. In fact, it does not show what it claims. That image, based on data from the Operational Linescan System flown on U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, is a color-composite created in 2003 by NOAA scientist Chris Elvidge to highlight population growth over time. In that image, white areas show city lights that were visible prior to 1992, while blue, green, and red shades indicate city lights that became visible in 1992, 1998, and 2003 respectively.

In reality, any extra light produced during Diwali is so subtle that it is likely imperceptible when observed from space.

Wrong! Please see the link on nasa website South Asian Night Lights : Image of the Day
This is indeed a black and white image of south asia taken on 12 NOV i.e. Diwali night.

 

[neehar]

fake....its not diwali...just a normal map.....shame on indians if they think its diwali....and half of Pakistan in that map is more brighter than india...no diwali here sir.

a discovery????the article itself states that the diwali light is so subtle that it canot be seen from space...

 

[for truth]

O jaani both pictures are the same one is coloured to show the population movement.

the bright colored one with different colors in it is the fake pic which NASA warned about and was taken by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2003 to show the population growth.

while the black and white is the real Diwali pic taken On November 12, 2012, with the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite capturing the night-time view of southern Asia.

NASA statement on the black and white photo: “On November 12, 2012, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this night-time view of southern Asia,”


while on the bright colored one it said:“An image that claims to show the region lit for Diwali has been circulating on social media websites and the Internet in recent years. In fact, it does not show what it claims.

That image, based on data from the Operational Linescan System flown on US Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, is a colour—composite created in 2003 by NOAA scientist Chris Elvidge to highlight population growth over time,”



as i said, read the article thoroughly.
