hrrrld:darkromantics:unknownskywalker: Las Vegas at night: the brightest spot on Earth This image shows the Las Vegas metropolitan area is located near the southern tip of Nevada, within the Mohave Desert. The Vegas Strip (center) is reputed to be the brightest spot on Earth due to the concentration of lights on its hotels and casinos. The acquisition of focused nighttime images requires astronauts on the International Space Station to track the target with the handheld camera while the ISS is moving at a speed of more than 7 km/s (over 15,000 mph) relative to the Earth’s surface. (via) home sweet home <3 vegas is also sunny and seventy degrees (in december) as of earlier today. gotta love the desert :]

Las Vegas at night: the brightest spot on Earth

This image shows the Las Vegas metropolitan area is located near the southern tip of Nevada, within the Mohave Desert. The Vegas Strip (center) is reputed to be the brightest spot on Earth due to the concentration of lights on its hotels and casinos.

The acquisition of focused nighttime images requires astronauts on the International Space Station to track the target with the handheld camera while the ISS is moving at a speed of more than 7 km/s (over 15,000 mph) relative to the Earth’s surface.
