Stellar Photos Of Earth Taken From Space

Montreal Canada

Some of the photos released by NASA are a fabulous treat to our eyes. One such eye candy is a pleasing aerial photo of Montreal clicked at night from the International Space Station. Night photos help us to know the places of inhabitations which can never accomplished in a day time photograph. The photo enables us to differentiate the streets, main roads, highways and residential areas based on the lighting. Bright white lights are emitted from the streets and highways. Yellow lights are from the residential areas. One can interpret the image as a yellow star fallen and shattered on the ground.
