Acabo de actualizar mi dataset sobre contaminación lumínica nocturna global generado con mi herramienta radiance-geojson (https://codeberg.org/imigueldiaz/radiance-geojson). Contiene archivos JSON (.json.gz) y un dump completo en PostGIS (restaurada ocupa 27GB, con casi 140 millones de puntos georreferenciados), con datos de radiancia, brillo del cielo y clasificación Bortle para 173 países a 0.5 km de resolución. Basado en imágenes VIIRS de Earth Observation Group, Colorado School of Mines.

Puedes descargarlo gratis desde: https://archive.org/details/radiance-geojson-data-2025

Ideal para análisis geoespaciales, ambientales y astronómicos, en mi caso lo usaré para astrofotografía si me da la vida. Licencia CC BY 4.0.

For insurers, static maps aren’t enough. You need a geospatial engine built to integrate, scale, and perform at the speed of risk.

Qarta™, Quarticle’s geo‑intelligence engine, was built with modern insurance workflows in mind.

Why does Kontur use hexagons?
Because borders lie.

Hex grids =
✅ Equal area
✅ Seamless coverage
✅ Fast queries
✅ No square bias
✅ Scalable from local to global

One shared frame. One honest view.
