Easy to spot is the historically different illumination of the old East and West Berlin. In the detailed view the Tegel airport is brightly visible in the upper left corner and the street Straße des 17 Juni with the Victory Column and the Regierunsviertel are also clearly visible.
For comparison, the night scene of Berlin NightSat mission in 2004:
Berlin 2004 NightSat
