[5] The images are also presented in the form of publications[6] and TWAN books and DVDs are planned for release in 2010.

According to its website, "TWAN has brought together photographers, astronomers and organizations worldwide to create a new international team that fulfills its primary goal of bringing to the public a new way of seeing the beauty of nights sky and wonders of our planet, portraying Earth’s people as one family and our world as a living planet we must care for.

This furthers the reach and variety of the image collection, which includes more than 1500 photos, videos, and VR imagery.
