Earth by night, open in new window for 3600 × 1800 resolution, makes a nice wallpaper.
That is blooming marvelous.
to be honest, i am a bit puzzled.Just noticed this. Western Australia should be a desert. It's lit up like a city and not just in one spot.....
Google Maps
Maps reveal nothing but national parks, wildlife reserves, some lakes and desert in those areas.
@Vassnti : Can you maybe help explain this?
Careful observers of the new "Black Marble" images of Earth at night released this week by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have noticed bright areas in the western part of Australia that are largely uninhabited. Why is this area so lit up, many have asked?
Away from the cities, much of the night light observed by the NASA-NOAA Suomi NPP satellite in these images comes from wildfires. In the bright areas of western Australia, there are no nearby cities or industrial sites but, scientists have confirmed, there were fires in the area when Suomi NPP made passes over the region. This has been confirmed by other data collected by the satellite.
