I just had to share these beautiful photos that were taken from the International Space Station, 240 miles above Earth. This is a night view of the Northeast with New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Virginia's Richmond and Hampton Roads areas looking like starbursts along the eastern seaboard.

Here's a view of the Southeastern part of the country with Atlanta being the bright spot in the center of this photo. Amazing!

And here's Chicago and the Midwest. Awesome...
