Earth at Night — National Geographic Wall Map

889 × 562 mm (Landscape) • Paper / Laminated / Laminated + Hang Rails / Canvas / Canvas + Hang Rails • Published 2010 • Made in Australia

Witness our planet’s nocturnal heartbeat. National Geographic’s Earth at Night reveals the glow of human activity—cities, shipping lanes, gas flares, and night-time fishing—captured as a cloud-free composite from three satellites over one year. It’s equal parts data visualization and art—perfect for studios, offices, classrooms, and living spaces.

🌍 What You’ll See

• Global night lights: Population density and urban footprints at a glance

• Activity signatures: Wildfires, natural-gas burn-off, night fishing fleets

• Clean design: Deep blacks, pinpoint light detail, and crisp labelling for across-the-room readability

A rare, wall-ready view of Earth’s rhythms after dark.
