EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Central America at night, revealing the mesmerizing beauty of the region from a satellite's perspective. The black marble image captures the nocturnal glow produced by Earth's atmosphere as well as man-made light, offering a unique glimpse into the continent's energy use and population density. The brighter areas in this composite image represent more densely populated regions, where cities come alive with vibrant illumination. From bustling urban centers to tranquil rural landscapes, every corner of Central America is depicted in this stunning visual display. The lights scattered across islands and along coastlines highlight habitation patterns and emphasize the connection between land and sea. Acquired over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012 by NASA-NOa Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite's day-night band of Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), this photograph offers an invaluable insight into our planet's nighttime activities. It also sheds light on the issue of light pollution, reminding us of our responsibility to preserve dark skies for future generations.
