The sky on
a day to remember.
Earth at Night
City lights illuminate Earth's surface in this global nightscape, highlighting populated areas. The bright coastlines of Europe, the eastern United States, and Japan are clearly visible, often following major rivers or oceans. Vast dark regions, like central South America and Africa, show areas with less human development.
