The World At Night (TWAN) is an international effort to present stunning nightscape photos and time-lapse videos of the world’s landmarks against celestial attractions. The eternally peaceful night sky looks the same above symbols of all nations and regions, attesting to the truly unified nature of Earth as a planet rather than an amalgam of human-designated territories.

TWAN was designated as the first special project of International Year of Astronomy 2009

For as long as he can remember, he has always seen the outdoors as a skyscape with land below it, rather than a landscape with sky above it.
