Earth at Night
Our planet, seen at night, reveals the glow of human civilization. Major cities cluster along coastlines and rivers, showing where populations have thrived. Vast, dark expanses mark less populated or developed regions, like the interiors of South America, Africa, and Asia. This image from orbit highlights the patterns of human presence across the globe.
