ISS Captures India's Dazzling City Lights from Orbit: A Stunning Nighttime View

• The International Space Station (ISS) photographed India's city lights from orbit, passing over the Arabian Sea and Himalayas.
• Images reveal a 'web-like pattern' of illuminated cities, roads, and villages across the subcontinent.
• The view shows bright coastal cities contrasting with darker mountainous terrain as the ISS moved towards northern India.
• Astronauts use specialized digital cameras with long-exposure settings to capture these detailed nighttime views.
• Orbital images aid researchers in monitoring urban growth, energy use, and environmental changes.
