NASA has released new maps showing full hemisphere views of Earth at night. According to NASA website<\/a>, these maps provide the clearest yet composite view of the patterns of human settlement across our planet. They have also released a video stating “NASA scientists have just released the first new global map of Earth at night since 2012. This nighttime look at our home planet, dubbed the Black Marble, provides researchers with a unique perspective of human activities around the globe. By studying Earth at night, researchers can investigate how cities expand, monitor light intensity to estimate energy use and economic activity, and aid in disaster response.”<\/p>\n
