See it on NASA's siteThis image is a composite of satellite data, showing Europe at night. It combines daytime and nighttime observations to create a view that highlights cities by their lights. While it's not exactly what an astronaut would see, due to exaggerated lights and no clouds, it provides a striking geographical perspective. The patterns of nighttime lights come from the USAF Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.
