EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Texas at night, as seen from the International Space Station (ISS). Taken by astronaut Mike Fossum on November 6th, 2011, this image showcases the Gulf Coast illuminated with a myriad of glowing cities. The stunning view offers a unique perspective on the state's urban landscape and its relationship with nature. In the upper right corner, we can see the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico shimmering under moonlight. The bright city lights create a striking contrast against the dark backdrop of space, showcasing human civilization in all its glory. However, this breathtaking display also highlights an issue that plagues many modern cities - light pollution. From this vantage point high above Earth's surface, one cannot help but ponder about our impact on our planet. This photograph serves as a reminder to strike a balance between progress and preserving our natural environment. A testament to humanity's achievements in space exploration and technology, this image provides us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into life aboard the ISS and reminds us of how far we have come as a species. It is through such remarkable photographs that we are able to appreciate both our home planet and our place within it.
