| New York City from space |
This is a picture of New York City, at night. It might be a bit confusing at first because it is backwards. From Astronaut Wheelock's position in space Long Island appears on the left side of the picture. The very bright center of the picture if Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and parts of New Jersey. If you look very close you can see the tiny sliver of light, surrounded by darkness, that is the island of Manhattan.
Click here http://twitpic.com/2izl9u/full and the picture will be big enough for you to see the dark area that is Central Park as well as the 2 dark areas in Brooklyn, Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery.

Enjoy the pictures and think about just how much is out there beyond our school, neighborhood, and city.
Welcome back to school...

Nice picture but what is it?
Cesar,
Read the post again, I explain what it is in the text. Also, look at the caption of the photo.
Check out the links too, they will take you to other photos by the same person. All are equally cool.
This is very cool. Didn't see it before. I was actually on your blog to look for your email. Would like to discuss with you about my son's grade. Can you give that to me? Thanks

Jacob,
Read the post again. Under the picture is a link to the person who took the picture.
do you find these pictures on a site from nasa.
Jacob,
Read the post carefully. The photo comes from an astronaut who uses Twitter to post his photos (he is in space when he takes them)
