‘Cities at Night’ is a project that compiles night views of cities taken by astronauts from the International Space Station.
The compiled images are organized into an interactive map, allowing users to search for images of their favorite cities.
These close-ups feature a structured web of lighted “veins” spreading across the surface of the Earth, leaving you in awe as you examine the contrast between human civilization and the surrounding nature.
