An Expedition 30 crew member aboard the International Space Station took this nighttime photograph of much of the Atlantic coast of the United States. Large metropolitan areas and other easily recognizable sites from the Virginia/Maryland/Washington, D.C. area are visible in the image that spans almost to Rhode Island. Boston is just out of frame at right. Long Island and the New York City area are visible in the lower right quadrant. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are near the center. Parts of two Russian vehicles parked at the orbital outpost are seen in left foreground.
I love stuff like this

Reminds me of Corusant from Star Wars. Also makes me wonder how many billions of kilowatt-hours of energy we're spending to keep those lights up.
I'm going back to my corner now. To geek out there.

I see pics like this all the time - because of where I work! However, usually they are company confidential, so no sharing from me!
