New Photo Shows 'Spiderweb' City From Space
The nighttime lights of Russia's capitol city Moscow glow like a giant luminescent spider web in a new photo taken by astronauts in space. The photo of Moscow from space reveals a bustling metropolis arranged around a central hub, with radiating spoke-like streets reaching outward. The spokes are linked at intervals by relatively circular highways that wrap around the entire city. 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, likely making the city a tricky target. Noguchi posted it Friday to his Twitter page, where he has been chronicling his six-month mission to the space station under the name Astro_Soichi.
