这是地球在晚上的样子。你能找到你最喜欢的国家或城市吗？令人惊讶的是，城市灯光使这项任务成为可能。人造光照亮了地球表面特别发达或人口稠密的地区，包括欧洲海岸、美国东部和日本。许多大城市位于河流或海洋附近，因此他们可以用船便宜地交换货物。特别黑暗的地区包括南美洲中部、非洲、亚洲和澳大利亚。这张被称为“黑色大理石”的特色图片实际上是2016年根据轨道运行的“苏米核电站”卫星拍摄的数据重新制作的数百张照片的合成图。

This is what the Earth looks like at night. Can you find your favorite country or city? Surprisingly, city lights make this task quite possible. Human-made lights highlight particularly developed or populated areas of the Earth's surface, including the seaboards of Europe, the eastern United States, and Japan. Many large cities are located near rivers or oceans so that they can exchange goods cheaply by boat. Particularly dark areas include the central parts of South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The featured image, nicknamed Black Marble, is actually a composite of hundreds of pictures remade in 2016 from data taken by the orbiting Suomi NPP satellite.
