This
video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International
Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken January 29, 2012 from
05:33:11 to 05:48:10 GMT, on a pass from just southwest of Mexico to the
North Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Newfoundland. This pass begins
looking over Central America towards the Gulf of Mexico and the
southeastern United States. As the ISS travels northeast over the gulf,
some southeastern United States cities can be distinguished, like New
Orleans, Mobile, Jacksonville, and Atlanta. Continuing up the east
coast, some northeastern states, like Washington, D.C., Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and New York City stand out brightly along the coastline.
The Aurora Borealis shines in the background as the pass finishes near
Newfoundland.
