Summary

Description
English: This image shows Earth’s night lights as observed in 2016; they are drawn from a 2016 global composite map that was added to Worldview and GIBS. The compositing technique selected the best cloud-free nights in each month over each land mass. (Note that clouds and sunlight are added to the image for aesthetic effect; those data are drawn from the Blue Marble products.) Instrument: Suomi NPP - VIIRS
