Earth at Night
This image shows Earth at night, illuminated by human-made lights. City lights highlight densely populated areas like the eastern United States, Europe, and Japan. Many major cities are situated near rivers or coastlines, facilitating trade and transportation. Vast, dark regions indicate less populated areas, such as the central parts of South America, Africa, and Asia. It's a striking view of our planet from space.
