Here are two satellite snapshots of the nighttime lights in Myanmar and neighboring countries: one from March 27 and the other from the night after the devastating earthquake on 28 March 2025.

The stark difference reveals widespread blackouts across Myanmar, including its capital, Naypyidaw.

The Magnitude 7.7 earthquake near Mandalay, Myanmar, caused massive destruction in the country and even affected even the neighboring countries.

To date, the death toll from the said earthquake already surpassed 1,000, according to the Military Junta.

The strong shaking brought down several structures and caused massive blackouts across Myanmar, with its full extent as seen from space by NASA’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).

Satellite imagery plays a vital role in disaster response, offering a clear view of the damage and helping authorities and humanitarian organizations mobilize resources more efficiently.
