Image Caption: Night and day images of southern India

The daylight panorama taken by crews flying aboard the Gemini-11 spacecraft shows coastlines and land surface color, but no details of human geography. This classic view was taken on an early space flight, almost 50 years ago, at a similar altitude to that of the ISS. Patterns of bright white cloud cover much of the land surfaces of India and Sri Lanka (image right).
