NEWARK, New Jersey, United States — An aerial view of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) at night, captured from a helicopter at approximately 500 feet altitude, reveals the sprawling terminal complex illuminated against the darkness. The Airtrain monorail system is distinctly visible as a string of white lights stretching from the center to the bottom of the frame, showcasing the airport's modern transportation infrastructure. Note: Some high ISO noise is visible at full resolution due to the challenging low-light conditions of night aerial photography.

This nighttime aerial photograph of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), taken from a helicopter at about 500 feet, offers a captivating view of one of the busiest airports in the United States. The image captures the intricate layout of the airport's terminal complex, bathed in the glow of thousands of lights that illuminate the nocturnal operations of this major transportation hub. The airport's three main passenger terminals (A, B, and C) are likely visible as brightly lit structures, their shapes defined by the illumination of their roofs, windows, and surrounding apron areas. The terminal area is probably bustling with activity, evidenced by the lights of aircraft at gates, ground vehicles moving about, and the constant flow of passengers. A striking feature of the image is the Airtrain monorail system, described as a string of white lights running from the center to the bottom of the frame. This automated people mover system connects the terminals, parking lots, and rental car facilities, its path clearly delineated against the darker surroundings.
