NIGHT EARTH AND MOON DISC:
Even from far away and in complete darkness, humanity is still visible. Explore the night-lit cities of Europe and the Middle East.
The disk shows the Earth seen over the Red Sea between Eritrea and Yemen. The full Moon is visible showing the hidden face of our satellite. The viewer, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are nearly aligned. While the viewer is about 700,000 km above the Earth away from the Sun, the Moon is about 384,400 km between the viewer and the Earth. The disk depicts this alignment on November 9, 2011. In this disk, the Earth and Moon have been magnified fifty times in order to make many details visible to the human eye.

These additional disks have been made using data from a number of different NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United States Naval Observatory (USNO) missions.
Data from no less than 100,000,000 celestial objects have been recoded into more than 150,000 exposures in Arizona, the United States and Chile. They amount to more than 4.1 TB of raw data that have been processed for the generation of the night sky images used in the disks.
The images of the Earth have been created from data from a total of six missions over a decade. Images and measurements from NASA and NOAA missions have been combined to show us the Earth, sea ice, oceans, clouds, city lights, as well as topography. The images of the Moon are taken from the photographic record of the Clementine probe. More than 43,000 images have been recorded occupying more than 88 CDs, the images have a resolution of 100 meters per pixel.
