This NASA photo shows the Earth at night, captured from space. The image shows a beautiful contrast between the dark oceans and continents, and the illuminated cities and populated areas.
The bright spots in the photo represent urban areas and infrastructure, with major metropolises such as Cairo, Mumbai and Paris clearly visible. African and Middle Eastern regions show less light pollution compared to Europe and South Asia, where cities are more densely populated.
Images like this, often known as "Earth at Night", are taken by NASA using satellites to map energy use, urbanisation and human activity worldwide. The image has a mysterious and almost serene look, with the natural curvature of the earth visible against the infinite darkness of space.
