Earth at Night Wall Map by National Geographic

The Earth at Night Wall Map by National Geographic offers a breathtaking perspective of our planet like you’ve never seen it before. Captured by three satellites over the course of a year on clear, cloud-free nights, this composite image reveals where humanity shines brightest—and where nature still holds the night.

City clusters like New York, Tokyo, and Paris blaze with dazzling intensity, while vast stretches of the Sahara Desert remain in striking darkness. You’ll also discover fascinating light sources beyond cities, such as burning savannas in Africa, natural gas flares in the Middle East, and the surreal blue glow of night fishing fleets off Argentina’s coast and in the Sea of Japan. A unique fact: in Alaska, light emissions can shift dramatically depending on the season, reflecting its long summer days and extended winter nights.

Measuring 35" x 22", this map makes a stunning conversation piece for home, office, or classroom.
