It has been assembled from a series of cloud-free images acquired by one of the most capable satellites in the sky today - the Suomi spacecraft.

The platform was launched by the US last year, principally to deliver critical meteorological data.

The Black Marble dataset shows off one of Suomi's key innovations: the low-light sensitivity of its VIIRS instrument.
