•  Info This image depicts an exceptionally realistic view of Earth from space and coloring showcased in regions at sunrise and morning. Earth’s night City lights as observed in 2016; this "aesthetic" and high quality image is drawn from the 2016 global composite map(a featured picture) that was added to Worldview and GIBS. The compositing technique selected the best cloud-free nights in each month over each land mass. (Clouds and sunlight were added to the image for aesthetic effect.) created by NASA Earth Observatory - uploaded by Redmyname31 - nominated by User:Redmyname31 -- User:Redmyname31 (talk) 19:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

•  Weak support interesting but a crop of the upper right would be better; there are many images like it on WMC but it's very well suited as FP but again should be cropped so one can see more. --Prototyperspective (talk) 16:03, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

  •  Question Please specify! Are u saying about keeping only upper right part(showing East Asia)??

  Redmyname31 (talk) 19:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

  A large portion of the image where one can discern city lights. The left and bottom are curved in the image so one can't see things well there and one could rather nominate another image as FP; in the bottom it's mostly ocean and few city lights. Example (quickly done with this). Prototyperspective (talk) 21:43, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

  •  Comment Ok, I get what you are trying to say, but please read the info(same in description of image) it says that clouds and sunlight were added to the image for aesthetic effect, so ig this image was made for visual splendor or artistic imagery. I think your request can be fulfilled by cropping of this image: File:BlackMarble20161km.jpg (not linked)
