I just checked my copy of the poster and, this image is probably not the
same.  The internet image seems to have higher resolution.  Where, on the
poster,  there are  blobs of  light in the Saudi pennisula, the electronic
image shows individual signaturesl.  There also seems to be less
agricultural burning in Africa. I'd think this is a more recent image
suite.

The aurora effeect on the  paper image is missing on the web, but you can
distinguish land and pack ice in the Arctic on the electronicimage!

In any case, I'd love to get this image on paper

I was given this image on a poster a few years ago. The coloured areas
at the poles are intended to be a representation of aurora.
