iss073e0982169 (Oct. 25, 2025) --- Long Island, New York—the most populous island in the United States—stretches 118 miles from west to east, extending from Brooklyn to Montauk Point. It lies between Long Island Sound to the north and the New York/New Jersey Bight to the south. Toward the upper left, New York City's island borough of Manhattan is visible, with the Hudson River and East River flowing on either side. The city's bright lights contrast with the elongated, darkened area of Central Park. This image was captured at approximately 2:24 a.m. local time from the International Space Station as it orbited 263 miles above the Empire State.
