Night Earth pro

The Night Earth map is a fascinating tool that allows us to explore and understand the impact of light pollution on our planet. It provides a stunning view of the Earth's surface, showing the lights that are visible at night and highlighting the areas that are the brightest and most urbanized. Features: • Watch the Earth at night from space • Observation of human-generated lights from space and the light pollution caused • Location of the spots with less light pollution, for better observation of the stars • 3D view with detailed atmospheric effects, for stunning views • Search any location, or tell the application to focus on your current location • Overlay the night images onto satellite or road maps • Compare the night images captured by NASA in different years • Track in which parts of the world it is currently day or night • Real-time visualisation of the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) • Worldwide real-time cloud coverage, to check where is it currently possible to observe the stars or the Aurora • Detailed night images taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station and other sources • Information of light pollution in thousands of 5,000 locations in 170 countries, what causes it, and measures being taken to decrease it Two versions of the night map are available, captured by NASA in different years. These detailed maps account for 437.495 images hosted in the Night Earth website (http://www.nightearth.com). Supports devices running Android 5.1 onwards, and Android TV The Night Earth map showcases the stark contrasts in urbanization and population density around the world, demonstrating how cities tend to concentrate along coastlines and transportation networks. One of the map's notable features is its ability to highlight the differences between brightness and population density. While certain regions may appear to be the brightest, they may not necessarily be the most heavily populated. The map visually portrays this phenomenon, offering insights into the patterns of human settlement and development. Moreover, the Night Earth map uncovers the vast expanses of our planet that remain thinly populated and unlit. Antarctica emerges as a completely dark expanse, reminding us of its isolation and otherworldly beauty. Similarly, the interior jungles of Africa and South America, deserts in various parts of the world, and the remote boreal forests of Canada and Russia all exhibit limited illumination, reflecting the challenges faced by people in these regions when it comes to accessing electricity and infrastructure. In addition to its informational value, the Night Earth map is aesthetically pleasing, allowing us to appreciate the planet's beauty from a unique perspective. It presents a captivating view of Earth's light pollution and serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between human activity, population distribution, and the natural environment. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is the ad-free version of the application.
