The images in Earth at Night were taken by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, which orbits Earth 14 times a day. The satellite's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument captures images of the Earth's surface in visible and infrared light. This allows scientists to see the Earth's surface at night, even in areas where there is no moonlight.
