At the Panorama, the sun sets on New York City every 12 minutes. The lights slowly fade to recreate the illusion of dusk and then night falls. When in night mode, the model glows thanks to ultraviolet light and phosphorescent paints. The windows of skyscrapers glow and the parks of the city really pop out as they are painted a bright glowing green.
