The crew of Expedition 30 onboard the International Space Station took this amazing NASA video of Michigan. The video begins looking northeast over Texas, where cities like San Antonio, Houston, and the Dallas/Fort Worth area can be seen.
Continuing northeast over the Great Plains states, cities like Oklahoma City, Kansas City, and St. Louis can be easily distinguished. The pass continues over the familiar shape of Michigan, with Chicago and Detroit visible. As the ISS continues northeast, the Aurora Borealis can be seen over Canada.
The sequence of shots was taken on January 30, 2012, from 06:13:36 to 06:23:09 GMT, on an ISS pass from northern Mexico to northwest New Brunswick.
