You can see most large metropoles having a white core. In Rotterdam and The Hague (Netherlands), this white core is in between.
Very interesting. I live on the southern outskirts of The Hague, Netherlands. Between The Hague and De Nieuwe Waterweg is the Glass City [0] located, a large area (~20x20km) with mainly greenhouses. These greenhouses use artificial light to spur growth in plants, causing the white core in the light pollution heatmap.
When I look out on my balcony to the south, the sky never turns dark. Only when there is heavy rain clouds, the light from the greenhouses dims a bit. The sky is always in an orang-y darkish glow.
