North American East Coast at Night


This January 29 panorama of much of the East Coast, photographed by one of the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station, provides a look generally northeastward: Philadelphia-New York City-Boston corridor (bottom-center); western Lake Ontario shoreline with Toronto (left edge); Montreal (near center). An optical illusion in the photo makes the atmospheric limb and light activity from Aurora Borealis appear "intertwined."

Note: This is a nice follow-up photo to the recent photo of northwestern Europe at night. The Minister can see the lights of his hometown in this photo.
