Cities From Space

Posted on 20. May, 2008 by frank in fun stuff

I have always been fascinated with space, it goes with my hobby of watching and reading sci-fi. But the real stuff I find just as cool. One of my favorite places in Washington DC is the Air and Space Museum. Just a few years ago we ended up visiting five times in one year! It is a good thing admission is free.

Anyway, I stumbled on a recent video from the International Space Station where the team rigged some equipment to take full color pictures of cities at at night. They are the clearest full color, night-time, photos of these cities from orbit. Pretty cool stuff. If you have a few minutes to kill and you are interested watch the video below.
