NOAA’s Earth Observation Group creates monthly composite nighttime images from the VIIRS day-night band (DNB) by combining cloud-free data from nights without moonlight (i.e., during the new moon phase). Here the monthly composite image has been combined with a cloud-free MODIS image that has been modified to appear more “night-like” to highlight the Earth’s land surface.City lights make several urban centers easily discernable. For example, Tokyo, Japan, located on the southeastern side of the main island, is the brightest location on the image. It is also the most populous metropolitan area in the world. Clusters of light out at sea—particularly in and around the Korean Straight—are produced by the lights from hundreds of fishing boats engaged in night fishing. One such cluster surrounds Jeju Island, South Korea—a popular tourist destination—where fishermen shine torchlights on the water to attract squid, a traditional Jeju food. The reason the lights are so prominent around the island in this image is because the time the data were collected (i.e., May during new moon) overlaps with one of the peak fishing seasons for this region—spring, during new moon. || ", "hits": 312 }, { "id": 30516, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30516/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2014-07-28T11:00:00-04:00", "title": "Exploring Sapporo, Japan", "description": "Located on the northern island of Hokkaido, Sapporo is Japan’s fourth-largest city by population. These two images taken by Landsat 8 show Sapporo and its surrounding area on October 10, 2013 and April 20, 2014. In both images the urban city appears gray. Close by, several rectangular agricultural fields (tan and brown) can be seen sprawling eastward. West of the city center, mountains fill the scene. Mount Yōtei, an active stratovolcano located in Shikotsu-Toya National Park, can be seen near the bottom center of the images.Sapporo has a continental climate that offers the full gamut of seasons and a wide variety of temperatures throughout the year. In the October image, the fall leaves in the highest elevations have already begun transitioning into shades of orange and brown. Sapporo receives an average of approximately 360 centimeters (250 inches) of snowfall each year, making it one of the snowiest cities in the world and an ideal site for winter activities. The city hosts its annual Sapporo Snow Festival in February each year, and hosted the Winter Olympics in 1972. The April image shows that even in early spring, there is still plenty of snow covering the nearby mountains. || ", "hits": 51 }, { "id": 11496, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11496/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2014-02-26T17:00:00-05:00", "title": "GPM Launch Multimedia Package", "description": "A Japanese H-IIA rocket with the NASA-Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory onboard, is seen launching from th Tanegashima Space Center, 1:37 PM (EST) on Friday, Feb. 28, 2014, Tanegashima Space Center.
