#PPOD: The lights of cities across the United States sparkle against the darkness in this photograph taken from the International Space Station on October 18, 2026. CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk captured the view from about 417 kilometers above Earth, stretching from the Midwest toward the East Coast. Among the illuminated metropolitan areas are Chicago, Detroit, and New York, their sprawling networks of lights tracing the landscape a few hours before sunrise. Credit: CSA/Joshua Kutryk
