World Map - Earth at Night (2004) (Map) Black Coffee Mug

World Map - Earth at Night (2004) (Map) This product presents a unique depiction of our planet, showcasing the world as seen from space during nighttime. The map was created in 2004 using data collected by NASA's DMSP satellites over a period of several years, which measured reflected city lights. Regions with intense light patterns indicate urban areas and human settlements, while less illuminated areas represent wilderness, deserts, or sparsely populated regions. The map serves as a testament to humanity's impact on the planet, visualizing population centers and the global distribution of development. It offers a fascinating perspective on Earth, combining cartography with satellite imagery for an engaging representation of our world at night.
