Earth At Night
[Click On Image For Large Version]
This image was Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) August 22nd, 2004. It shows what the earth looks like at night. The image is actually a composite of 100s of pictures made by the orbiting DMSP satellites (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program). Particularly interesting is the difference in night lighting between South Korea and North Korea - see also picture below. The single bright dot in North Korea is Pyong-Yang.
