The image shows a nighttime satellite view of the continental United States. The landmass is clearly visible, with a multitude of glowing lights illuminating the country's metropolitan areas and infrastructure. The eastern and central parts of the country appear particularly bright, with large clusters of lights representing major cities and urban centers. Towards the west, the lights become more scattered, reflecting the more rural and less densely populated regions. This image provides a captivating visualization of the human population distribution and activity across the United States, as seen from space at night.
