Earthas human-generated nighttime lights for the calendar year 2003
This image shows Earthas human-generated nighttime lights for the calendar year 2003, based on observations by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Line Scanner. In this image, oceans appear black, landmasses appear in varying shades of blue, and lights appear yellow-white. Because these images focus on human impact, they do not include other (natural) light sources. Besides assembling cloud-free images, data visualizers carefully excluded sunlight, moonlight, and light from the Northern Hemisphere aurora.
The most intensely lit areas include the eastern half of the United States, southeastern Canada, Western Europe, Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia. Lights also line several coasts, including the western United States, Arabian Peninsula, and eastern Mediterranean. Additionally, patches of bright lights appear along the coasts of Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, and Cameroon. A flurry of lights delineates the Nile Delta

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Earth's human-generated nighttime lights for the calendar year 2003, providing a unique perspective on our planet's urbanization and development. The image, based on observations by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Operational Line Scanner, presents a mesmerizing view of our world after sunset. In this striking visual representation, vast oceans appear in deep black hues while landmasses are depicted in varying shades of blue. However, it is the vibrant yellow-white lights that steal the spotlight. These artificial illuminations symbolize human impact and progress across different regions. The most dazzlingly lit areas include the eastern half of the United States, southeastern Canada, Western Europe, Japan, and parts of Southeast Asia. Along several coastlines such as those of the western United States, Arabian Peninsula, and eastern Mediterranean; lights form luminous lines that highlight bustling cities and thriving communities. Moreover, patches of bright lights adorn coastal regions in Australia, Brazil Nigeria, and Cameroon. Notably absent from this image are natural light sources like sunlight or moonlight to emphasize solely human-generated illumination. Data visualizers meticulously assembled cloud-free images while deliberately excluding other light phenomena such as Northern Hemisphere aurora. This awe-inspiring photograph offers an extraordinary glimpse into how humanity has transformed Earth's nightscape with its ingenuity and technological advancements. It serves as a reminder of our collective presence on this beautiful planet we call home.
