VIIRS DNB Nightly Mosaics can be found here:

https://ngdc.noaa.gov/eog/download.html

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day-Night Band (VIIRS DNB) images the entire Earth nightly at a resolution of about 750 meters. Suomi NPP orbits the Earth 14 times per day on a 16-day repeat cycle. The average time at which images are taken is near 01:30 in local solar time, but can vary by over an hour depending on latitude and the particular cycle.

Thanks! That's the kind of imagery I'm looking for but not the resolution. I should have made it clearer but what I'm looking for is images with resolution like in this article:

They claim to have got these from NASA but the resolution looks a hell of a lot finer than 750m, it looks more like 1m-5m; you can see individual streets in the Raqqa timelapse.

They link to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/syria_from_space_... but it just mentions VIIRS again.
