The concept is cool but the implementation seems to be completely wrong.

For example, look at New York City around dusk, and if you zoom out it's mostly yellow, but if you zoom in it's mostly black.

I assume that's because it only models buildings when zoomed in. I would say it's harsh to call that approximation "completely wrong".
