That was awesome I don't know how it would show all the way from earth from hundred or maybe millions of miles away.

That was sweet. How did a satellite get those photographs?Nasa is so cool. This I s one of the reasons why I want to work there.

That was so magnificent! It was really beautiful and spectacular! The lights looked like stars. It showed population, light pollution, boats and just in general light! It was just so pretty. It was just great. I wonder why half of the world wasn't lit up. I wonder why France was so bright and Canada wasn't.

WOW! That was so cool! It's amazing how there is only light in some places. I wonder how many lights it takes to make it so that it can be captured by a satilite.

# data[].attributes.body
That was amazing how much activity goes on at nightime🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕🌒🌓🌔

# data[].attributes.body
Those lights most be really bright on earth if you can see them in space. It is really cool that NASA can see all of that from just one satalite.

# data[].attributes.body
That is AMAZING!!! Wow that is just mindblowingley awsome! I wonder what night they do it on so I can leave all the lights on in my house, have a fire outside, and light fireworks, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!!😃😀😄😁😜😋😝😛😱😶

# data[].attributes.body
It's so mesmerizing!! It's super interesting that NASA can capture all of that at night! I'm guessing tha they took the picture from space at different periods of time because it's all night on the pictures and it's not always light and dark on all of the earth!!🌎🌍🌏🌕 🌖🌓🌒🌑🌘🌗🌔🌚🌝🌛🌜🌟⭐️💫🌞🌎🌍🌏

# data[].attributes.body
Awesome!!!!! How did a satellite capture all that. I can't wait for the daily lights

# data[].attributes.body
Wow. It is so beautiful! Great job NASA!

That was sweet. I was not something that I was really interested in but, I did think it was cool to see which cities had a lot of light and which ones did not. I really liked Africa because there were basically no lights at all, so it means they use the least energy. I hope scientists will look at the images and analyze how they can cut down the use of light energy.

That's amazing! It's so cool that they showed earth at night I had no idea that our lights can be seen from space.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! That is really satisfying ind awesome. Also, you can see how the US is very bright, and other forgein countries aren't really bright at all.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! That was really awe striking. Population patterns are crazy! You could even see boats on the water. I wonder what satellite took the pictures?

# data[].attributes.body
Amazing! NASA has really done it all now. How does NASA photograph are these lights in different countries from space? I can't wait for the daily pictures of lights later this year.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! That is out of this world! I can't believe how bright the Earth is at night. It is amazing how many lights there are in populated areas, like China and the US. Africa hardly had any lights. It would be so cool to see that from the ISS.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this nighttime map of the world is so cool! I was not that interested in this Monday Curiosity. I was kind of confused .

# data[].attributes.body
I though that it was really cool how they did this. I am wondering what country had the most lights on. I think that it was cool to see all the cities. It is amazing that they have the technology to get that detailed of a picture. WOW!

# data[].attributes.body
I never knew that our lights are shown from space.I always thought that our lights couldn't be seen from space because lights are little and maybe light a room.Also Thats very cool how earth looks at night with all of those lights.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is really cool looking, and beautiful. In my opinion, I think it's extremely amazing that you can see the more populated areas.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that NASA has a fantastic nighttime map of the world, I think that seeing all of the lights look amazing and how they showed some of the boats in the ocean/waters.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this was very intriguing. I liked the music it really matched what the video was about. I was surprised that there weren't more lights in certain areas. I wonder how bright the light has to be to be seen in space.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very interesting to see all the lights coming from different places around the world. It makes me realize  that there are many places that use a lot of electricity. The US had many lights in the eastern part. This should inspire people to save the earth and only use lights when needed. I also think that the majority of the light came from cities.

For the first time since 2012, NASA has released a new map of the entire Earth at night. Of course, you don't see the Earth so much as the activity of humans in well-lit cities.

Today they are releasing a new global composite map of night lights as observed in 2016, as well as a revised version of the 2012 map. The NASA group has examined the different ways that light is radiated, scattered and reflected by land, atmospheric and ocean surfaces. The principal challenge in nighttime satellite imaging is accounting for the phases of the moon, which constantly varies the amount of light shining on Earth, though in predictable ways. Likewise, seasonal vegetation, clouds, aerosols, snow and ice cover, and even faint atmospheric emissions (such as airglow and auroras) change the way light is observed in different parts of the world. The new maps were produced with data from all months of each year. The team wrote code that picked the clearest night views each month, ultimately combining moonlight-free and moonlight-corrected data.

Scientists are planning on providing "daily, high-definition views of Earth at night" starting later this year. It's worth clicking through to play with the interactive India map...it's astounding to see how much light the country has added in the past 5 years. And see if you can spot North Korea at night:

Barely...just a tiny dot for Pyongyang. You can play around with a fully zoomable version of the entire map here. (via @JamesJM)
