EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the North Sea at night, as captured by a satellite image. The black marble-like appearance highlights the contrasting lights emanating from ships and flares on gas and oil platforms scattered across the sea. On land, areas with higher population density shine brighter, revealing bustling cities in countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. Taken over several days in April and October 2012 by NASA's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, this composite image provides a unique perspective on Earth's energy use and human habitation patterns. The flat projection allows us to witness how light pollution affects our planet during nighttime. The print not only captures an awe-inspiring view but also serves as a reminder of our impact on Earth. It emphasizes how electricity illuminates both rural landscapes and urban centers while highlighting areas where energy consumption is more prevalent. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into our world through this stunning satellite image. It invites contemplation about humanity's presence on Earth in the 21st century while showcasing nature's beauty intertwined with human activity along Europe's coastline.
