The Earth never sleeps
Beautiful image from Nasa shows the UK on the night of March 27, 2012. The image made by the new satellite’s ‘day-night band’ spots lighting more accurately than ever before
The Earth never sleeps – these stunning images depict countries, continents at night, how beautiful our planet Earth is. In the first photograph – European continent at night. Looking at these breathtaking images it becomes clear where the Earth’s population is concentrated. NASA satellite technology from the Suomi NPP satellite’s “day-night band” of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as city lights, gas flares, auroras, wildfires, and reflected moonlight.
