![]() We will keep you posted once the data will be released. It will be interesting to learn how NASA has managed to compute the final output. ![]() All of these change the way light is observed in different parts of the world. When generating the images, you need to account the phases of the moon, seasonal vegetation, clouds, aerosols, snow and ice cover, and even faint atmospheric emissions. Generating this data with such a temporal resolution is not an easy task. This is an amazing quality change that will trigger a lot of cool projects. Later this year they plan to release these data on a daily basis to the science community. ![]() This year NASA plans to change it! In the years since the 2011 launch of the NASA-NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, guys at NASA have been analyzing night lights data and developing new software and algorithms to make night lights imagery clearer, more accurate and readily available. These datasets have been produced every decade or so which made it impossible to do any large scale change detection analysis. They are not only beautiful, but they also give the clearest view on the human settlement patterns on our planet. New Night Light satellite maps from NASA, will be a mesmerizing beauty.įrom a research perspective, it creates an amazing value, but the temporal resolution of the data has always been a problem. The satellite images of Earth taken at night always hypnotizes me.
