US at night captured from space

Posted by Chris Chicago | Mar 8, 2012 | Music | 0

This spectacular image of the Atlantic coast of the US was taken by a 30-strong crew aboard the International Space Station.

Large metropolitan areas and other easily recognisable sites from the Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC area are clearly visible in the image that spans almost to Rhode Island.

Boston is just out of frame to the right. Long Island and the New York City area are visible in the lower right part of the image. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are near the centre.

The space gear visible on the left are parts of two Russian vehicles docked at the ISS awaiting return to Earth during upcoming crew changes.
