EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the iconic cityscape of New York City, USA. The photograph, taken on September 8th, 2002 by the ASTER instrument on the Terra satellite, provides a bird's-eye view of this bustling metropolis. With North positioned at the top, Manhattan Island takes center stage in this image. Bordered by the Hudson River on the left and the East River on the right, Manhattan is depicted as a grey expanse of towering skyscrapers interspersed with pockets of green parks and leafy areas. One prominent feature that stands out is Central Park—a rectangular oasis nestled amidst Manhattan's concrete jungle—its lush greenery contrasting beautifully against its urban surroundings. As we explore further into this photo print, parts of Long Island can be seen to the right of New York Bay while Staten Island lies to its left. Covering an area spanning 27x37 kilometers, this stunning snapshot captures not only New York City but also neighboring regions such as Newark Bay and Long Island Sound. From space, one can truly appreciate how densely populated and geographically diverse this region is. This remarkable image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to create vibrant urban landscapes within nature's embrace. It invites us to marvel at both our technological achievements in capturing such detailed imagery from afar and our capacity for building thriving cities that continue to captivate people from all corners of the globe.
