Space Station Captures Spectacular Night View Of India Illuminated By City Lights The International Space Station (ISS) has released stunning nighttime images of India, captured from orbit, offering a breathtaking view of the subcontinent illuminated by thousands of city lights as the spacecraft passed over the Arabian Sea and the Himalayan region. Shared on the ISS’s official account on X, the images depict India glowing beneath a dark sky, with clusters of lights forming intricate, web-like patterns across the landscape. The illuminated network highlights major cities connected by highways, while smaller clusters reveal towns and villages shining across the country. The tweet accompanying the images described the scene as “the well-lit nighttime cityscape of India pictured from the International Space Station as it soared over the Arabian Sea and across the Himalayas.” The visuals sparked excitement among space enthusiasts and Indian social media users, many of whom were fascinated by how the lights trace the outline of the Indian subcontinent. One user remarked, “India is glowing from space, a reminder of how human energy and culture shine even brighter than city lights.” Another commented, “The way the lights trace the entire shape of the subcontinent is incredible. It is one of the most beautiful views from the ISS.” A third user noted, “The contrast between the mountain shadows and the city lights is stunning. It’s hard to believe this is one continuous view. Who else can spot their home city in this?” The ISS, which orbits Earth at an altitude of between 370 km and 460 km, completes one orbit in about 90 minutes.#united_states #india #international_space_station #arabian_sea #himilayan_region
NASA Shares Stunning Images of India's Night Glow Captured from ISS NASA has released pictures of India's nighttime cityscape captured from the International Space Station as it soared over the Arabian Sea and across the Himalayas.

International Space Station Captures Nighttime View of India Over Arabian Sea and Himalayas The International Space Station (ISS) has released a striking nighttime image of India, showcasing the country’s glowing city lights as seen from orbit. The photograph, shared on the ISS’s official X account, captures the subcontinent under a dark sky, with clusters of lights forming a web-like pattern across the landscape. The image was taken as the spacecraft passed over the Arabian Sea and the Himalayan region, highlighting the contrast between the illuminated urban areas and the darker natural terrain. In its accompanying post, the ISS described the scene as “the well-lit nighttime cityscape of India,” emphasizing the visibility of thousands of city lights. The image provides a unique perspective of India’s urban development and the interplay of light and darkness across its diverse geography. The Arabian Sea, with its dark waters, contrasts sharply with the bright lights of coastal cities, while the Himalayas, appearing as a jagged line in the distance, frame the view. The photograph has sparked interest for its ability to visually represent the scale and density of India’s population centers. Analysts note that such images offer insights into urbanization patterns and energy consumption, as the brightness of cities reflects both infrastructure and human activity. The ISS’s vantage point from low Earth orbit allows for a panoramic view that is otherwise inaccessible to most observers. The image also underscores the role of satellite technology in monitoring global phenomena, from urban growth to environmental changes. While the focus here is on India’s nighttime glow, similar images have been used to study light pollution, climate patterns, and even natural disasters.#india #international_space_station #arabian_sea #himilayas #iss
