NASAs BlackMarble 2016. The rotating globe at night

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This new global view and animation of Earth’s city lights is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite. The data was acquired over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012. It took satellite 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earth’s land surface and islands. This new data was then mapped over existing Blue Marble imagery of Earth to provide a realistic view of the planet.
Українська: Цей глобальний вигляд та анімація міських вогнів Землі, являє собою композицію, зібрану на основі даних, отриманих супутником Національного полярно-орбітального партнерства Суомі (Suomi NPP), NOAA, США. Дані були отримані протягом дев'яти днів у квітні 2012 року і тринадцяти днів у жовтні 2012 року. Супутнику знадобилося 312 орбіт та 2,5 терабайта даних, щоб отримати чітке зображення кожної ділянки суші і островів Землі. Потім ці нові дані були нанесені на карту існуючих зображень Землі кольору блакитного мармуру, щоб забезпечити реалістичний вигляд планети.

Každý snímek povrchu tak poskytuje jasný a realistický obraz místa na pevnině i na jednotlivých ostrovech.

Italiano: Vista globale e animazione delle luci di città della Terra; si tratta di una composizione costruita con i dati acquisiti dal satellite Suomi NPP (Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership). I dati sono stati acquisiti durante due periodi, il primo di nove giorni nell'aprile 2012 e il secondo di tredici giorni nell'ottobre 2012. Ci sono volute 312 orbite del satellite e 2,5 terabyte di dati per ottenere una foto pulita per ciascun lotto della superficie terrestre, isole comprese. Questi nuovi dati sono stati applicati sopra alle già esistenti immagini Blue Marble per ottenere una vista realistica del pianeta.
