| April 12, 1961 : This date marks the first time that man has ever seen Earth from space. Yuri Alexseyevich was this man, and he himself was stunned by the miraculous view given to him. 20 years later on the same day, NASA launched their first space shuttle. To commemerate these advances and expeditions, on April 12 of 2013, this picture was taken. This picture grabbed my attention because it shows people on Earth what Yuri had seen 52 years ago; probably a bit different than he had seen it. We can see the clear distinctions of major cities on the East coast of the USA, such as New York city, Boston and Baltimore, giving people a totally different perspective of what nightlife in the USA really looks like. |
