This is a cool picture of Long Island and Manhattan, taken from the International Space Station. It’s one of lots of neat photos of cities at night that astronaut Don Petit managed to take during his extended stay on ISS. If you follow the “Saturday Morning Science” link on the Blogroll (also really cool! Fun experiments with everyday objects in zero g) I think you’ll be able to find the rest of them eventually.
About meg
I think planets are cool! I'm a new graduate student in Planetary Science at Caltech, and at the moment I'm interested in planetary geophysics of terrestrial planets and moons. I'm originally from Cortlandt Manor, NY, and I did my undergrad at MIT, where I got heavily involved in student theater - a hobby I hope to continue through grad school, time permitting... I also like to read sci-fi/fantasy novels, obsess about English history, and play frisbee.
