"You can trace the Nile by the clusters of brightness along its banks, and spot how Cairo has expanded over the years with satellite cities like New Cairo and 6 October," the post read. 

It continued: "Images like these can do more than inspire—they offer real scientific insights into how cities expand, how energy is used, and where future infrastructure is needed. Through shared expertise, Egypt and the U.S. can use space science to support shared prosperity for everyone."
