EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of North America at night. Taken from a satellite, the black marble image showcases the continent illuminated by man-made lights and the ethereal glow emitted by Earth's atmosphere. The densely populated areas shine brightly, painting a vivid picture of human habitation across this vast land. The data for this composite image was collected over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012 by NASA's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite. It provides a unique perspective on energy use, population density, and light pollution across North America. From bustling cities to remote rural landscapes, every corner of this diverse continent is represented in this photograph. The United States and Canada stand out with their clusters of vibrant city lights, while smaller pockets of illumination dot the landscape throughout Mexico and Central America. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal of our home from space, it serves as a reminder of humanity's impact on our planet. The intricate web of lights symbolizes progress, innovation, and connectivity that define our modern world. However, it also prompts us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving Earth's delicate balance between urban development and natural beauty.
