Golden Rings Of Moscow


The nighttime lights of Russia's capitol city Moscow glow like a giant luminescent spider web. The photo of Moscow from space reveals a bustling metropolis arranged around a central hub, with radiating spoke-like streets reaching outward.

Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi took the stunning Moscow portrait while flying over Russia at night. The space station was flying about 17,500 mph and nearly 220 miles above Moscow at the time.
