Clear Lake City and Johnson Space Center, Texas: Glaveston Bay appears in the lower right of the view, with a large curved bay near the center of the view. Leading west (left) from this bay the water body known as Clear Lake extends for miles, with a cluster of buildings on the north side representing NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC). Built-up areas appear as lighter tones: Texas City appears just left of center on the bottom of the view. The southern outskirts of Houston appear along the top. Pasadena appears top right. Two subparallel lines can be seen stretching from the bottom of the of the view to the top, just left of center. The straighter line is Texas Highway 3 (the old Galveston Road) and the more sinuous is Interstate Highway 45, connecting Houston to Galveston.
