NASA-NOAA Satellite Reveals New Views of Earth at Night
Scientists unveiled today an unprecedented new look at our planet at night. A global composite image, constructed using cloud-free night images from a new NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite, shows the glow of natural and human-built phenomena across the planet in greater detail than ever before.
Many satellites are equipped to look at Earth during the day, when they
can observe our planet fully illuminated by the sun. With a new sensor
aboard the NASA-NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP)
satellite launched last year, scientists now can observe Earth's
atmosphere and surface during nighttime hours.
