Can't quite see my house from this angle

A photo of the Midwest taken from the International Space Station.
Chicago and Detroit are pretty obvious, as is Toronto.
The Twin Cities is about half way up the right hand side of the solar panel.
My guess is Indianapolis is at the bottom right corner of the panel and maybe St Louis and Des Moines at the opposite corner.

I think I can even see Ionia,Greenville and Carson City Mi. If that's right,that might be my mercury light that I can see. lol

I have flown across this country on a clear night and the only dark spots are the lakes, think of all the energy for the lights!

Ivan in Mich · Jan 11, 2015

Looks like a sea gull flew over on a bombing mission

Dr. Walt · Jan 11, 2015

Think of all the CRIME if you TURNED OFF all those lights.

Looks like the aurora borealis is putting on a show.

Way cool with the green aura in the north. Thanks. Jim

Awesome picture ! Thanks for posting it.

So, is the bright spot on the lower right corner of the solar collector Indy? If it is, the bright spot below the left panel might be Terre Haute.

Ok ,I can't see my house either, In fact I can't see Lake Ontario, just Michigan Erie and Huron. I think what you think is Toronto is actually London Ontario. Toronto is on Lake Ontario and has 6,000,000 people, so it would be a bigger splotch of light than you see in this picture. nice picture . Bruce

That's a neat picture, thanks,

that is Cleveland!!!!

sourgum · Jan 11, 2015

Quite a picture. See Louisville on bottom left. Computer shows a darker-lighter line going from Indianapolis to Cincinnati in bottom center. That might be snow cover line on the right of picture and none on the left of that line. And the aurora borealis in the northland. Thanks for the shot.

Amazing!

onefarmer · Jan 11, 2015

My house is right there, but I don't leave a light on, so can't see it.

Straw Boss · Jan 11, 2015

Think of all the law and order. If it were dark, everybody would go home and go to bed!

I believe Bruce from Canada to be correct, not Toronto, but London Ont. Toronto sits on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the lake in the bottom right corner is lake Erie.
My place is there somewhere, I will go out and wave a trouble light, you guys watch!

willie in mn · Jan 11, 2015

Bottom right most likely Cleveland, south shore of lake Erie.

CenTex Farmall · Jan 11, 2015

We sure use a lot of electricity.

Paul from MI · Jan 11, 2015

That's why I took down the Christmas lights today, just couldn't stand the glare. Seriously, I can pick out Coldwater, lights from Mastronardi's 60 acre greenhouse and the prison on the north side of town make quite a glow in the sky at night. Quite a picture when you can pick out just about every town in the area.

T in NE · Jan 11, 2015

See Columbus, Dayton, Milwaukee, Lansing, Grand Rapids, South Bend/ Elkhorn/ Mishawaka, Fort Wayne, even follow highway 30 and the interstates.
Wonder if the farthest spot east of Cleveland is Ashtabula or Erie.

Mark-Mi · Jan 11, 2015

I thought I read all the street lights in Detroit were broken.

tim(in) · Jan 12, 2015

Living in the ghetto right now talking care of my folks. We have had vehicles broke into and two vehicles stolen right off of our property parked right underneath a bright security lamp on the electrical pole about 6 feet away! one was taken after 6 am when i had just got home from work driving a semi. They had been watching me.Most burglaries now i believe happen at noon when most people are gone from home!

Did anyone see the night time Sat photo of North Korea two weeks ago? it was a big dark area between South Korea and Southern China.

newfarmer9 · Jan 14, 2015

Toronto doesn't show in this picture. That light in Southwestern Ontario is London, population 350,000. With approximately 6 million people in the Greater Toronto area, if it were on the map it would far outshine London, Detroit, etc.

WI Dan · Jan 14, 2015

That's pretty neat picture. I can see my area. Rockford, Beloit, Janesville lined up, then go east and I can barely pick out the Walworth County threesome (Delavan, Elkhorn, Lake Geneva)

Thanks for sharing this picture.
