Watch this: Earth at Night

Last month in our “Out of This World” blog post, we introduced you to the ‘Earth at Night’ images from NASA. Somerset stumbled upon this amazing video that goes beyond the image. It’s just two minutes long and full of cool information! Check this out by clicking the image below.

“This view of Earth at night is a cloud-free view from space as acquired by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Satellite. A joint program by NASA and NOAA, Suomi NPP captured this nighttime image by the day-night band of the satellite’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite VIIRS. It combines the Earth at night view created by NASA’s Earth Observatory with data processed by NOAA’s National Geophysical Data Center with the EO Blue Marble: Next Generation.”
