Taking advantage of new satellite capabilities, scientists from NASA and NOAA released new imagery of Earth at night, providing a counterpart to the iconic "Blue Marble" image of the planet during the day. The imagery was generated by a sensor carrie...d aboard the NASA-NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, known as the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, or VIIRS. It is sensitive enough to detect the nocturnal glow produced by the Earth's atmosphere. The day-night band from VIIRS is helping scientists monitor carbon emissions from natural gas and oil drilling operations, since it can detect flaring operations at night. The data has proven useful for monitoring wildfires, and has even provided a rare glimpse into upper atmospheric waves that can be generated from massive complexes of thunderstorms.
The sensor doesn't operate like a typical camera, which takes a picture in a single exposure. Rather, it produces an image by repeatedly scanning a scene and resolving it as millions of pixels. It then reviews the amount of light present in each pixel, amplifying very dark pixels and limiting the saturation of very bright pixels. (01:54)

The Earth might seem solid beneath our feet but five billion years ago there was no sign of the planet we call home. Instead there was only a new star and a cloud of dust. A series of violent changes led to the formation of our world. Over millions o...f years, a series of violent changes led to the formation of our world and, eventually, the creation of life.
In this photorealistic CGI epic, see how a boiling ball of rock transformed into the blue planet we know today. Explore every aspect of our world; learn how water first arrived on Earth, discover the vital role oxygen played as life forms began to evolve, and find out how land mammals evolved into dinosaurs and other giant beasts, before becoming extinct 65 million years ago.
Cutting-edge imagery also reveals how humans first began to walk on two feet and looks into the future to see what may be in store for our home over the next five billion years. (01:30:01)
