Earth Observation
ISS036-E-030910 (10 Aug. 2013) --- One of the Expedition 36 crew members aboard the International Space Station photographed this nocturnal image of Florida and parts of the southeast United States on Aug. 10. Almost totally filled-in light strings along both Atlantic (right) and Gulf of Mexico coasts highlight the major populated areas, with the Miami metropolitan area at bottom right being the most conspicuous. The Keys are just out of frame in lower right. The Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area is easily recognizable near frame center, and the jutting Cape Canaveral, which is home to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, is just below right center.
