NASA Image Shows India-Pakistan Border at Night

 Clusters of yellow lights on the Indo-Gangetic Plain reveal numerous cities large and small in this astronaut photograph of northern India and northern Pakistan. Of the hundreds of clusters, the largest are the capital cities of Islamabad, Pakistan, and New Delhi, India. (For scale, these metropolitan areas are approximately 700 kilometers or 435 miles apart.) The lines of major highways connecting the cities also stand out. More subtle, but still visible at night, are the general outlines of the towering and partly cloud-covered Himalayas to the north | NASA (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/)

WASHINGTON: An image of India-Pakistan border taken from the International Space Station (ISS) shows one of the few places on the Earth where an international boundary can be seen at night.

The US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared the photograph -- ISS045-E-27869 -- on its Facebook page on Sunday. An astronaut aboard the ISS took the nighttime panorama while looking north across Pakistan's Indus river valley.

The winding border between Pakistan and India can be seen lit by security lights that have a distinct orange tone.

It also shows Pakistan's port city of Karachi as a bright cluster of lights facing the Arabian Sea, which appears completely black. City lights and the dark colour of dense agriculture closely track with the great curves of the Indus valley.

This astronaut photograph, acquired on September 23 this year with a Nikon D4 digital camera, was provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center, Houston.

Another night image acquired in 2011 shows the India-Pakistan border zone looking southeast from the Himalaya.

What's the fuss about? India and Pakistan share serene embrace in a Nasa photograph

Indian and Pakistan might be quarreling on several issues, from Kashmir to cross-border terrorism, but the view from above, far above, is quite different. Yes, things might look grim on the ground, but from space, it's a different story.
Nasa has released a photo taken by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station which captures the India-Pakistan border in the nighttime. The photograph manages to include Karachi, visible as a cluster of lights facing a completely black Arabian Sea, the Indus Valley, the foothills of Himalayas and the winding border between Indian and Pakistan, lit by security lights that have a distinct "orange tone", all in one frame.

Despite all the bitterness and violence that plagues the border areas, the photograph evokes a sense of serenity and peace.

The photo was taken on  23 September, 2015 and has been made public by Nasa's Earth Observatory website.
According to the website, the picture was taken using a Nikon D4 digital camera, fitted with a 28 millimetre lens, and was provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 45 crew, the website adds.
