Texas and the Gulf Coast at night as seen by the International Space Stations Earth observation cameras. This wide-angle, nighttime image was taken by astronauts looking out southeastward over the Gulf of Mexico. Lower center left shows the twin lights of San Antonio Texas with a short string of lights to Austin (further left). Houston, the home of the Johnson Space Center is the brightest directly above (Center left). Moonlight reflects diffusely off the waters of the gulf (image center left) making the largest but diffused illuminated area in the image. The sharp edge of light patterns of coastal cities trace out the long curve of the gulf shoreline—from New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River, to Houston (both image left), to Brownsville (image center) in the westernmost gulf. City lights at great distances in Florida (image top left) and on Mexico's Yucatán peninsula (image center right) suggest the full extent of the gulf basin, more than 930 miles, from Brownsville to Florida.
