Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Europe, night-day satellite image
Europe, night-day satellite image. This composite image of the Earth is set against a background of stars, and is centred on Europe. North is at top. The left-hand half of the globe is at night, and city lights (yellow) show areas of dense population. The right-hand half of the globe is lit by sunlight and shows clouds (white), seas and oceans (blue), and land cover: vegetation (green) and arid areas (brown). This day-night line is the dawn terminator. This image, from 2001, combines data from a variety of satellite sensors (AVHRR, SeaWiFS, MODIS) for the sunlit areas. Night-time data is from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). For the separate images, see E074/083 and E050/681

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning satellite image of Europe, taken from space during the night and day. The composite image is set against a backdrop of twinkling stars, emphasizing the vastness of our universe. With North positioned at the top, the left half of the globe reveals a darkened landscape illuminated by clusters of yellow city lights, indicating densely populated areas. On the right side, sunlight bathes the Earth's surface, revealing white clouds floating above blue seas and oceans. The land cover is depicted in vibrant shades of green for vegetation and brown for arid regions. The boundary between light and darkness represents the dawn terminator, marking where day transitions into night. This remarkable image was created in 2001 using data collected from various satellite sensors such as AVHRR, SeaWiFS, MODIS for sunlit areas while Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) provided nighttime data. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies an underlying message about human geography and environmental impact. The distribution of artificial lights highlights population density across continents while also shedding light on issues like light pollution. Moreover, this photograph serves as a testament to technological advancements in earth observation that allow us to study our planet's intricate features from space. This thought-provoking composition invites viewers to contemplate both our place within this interconnected world and our responsibility towards preserving its beauty for future generations.
