Astronomy: ISS over North U.S. and Canada Lights

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station in January 31, 2012 from 06:57:12 to 07:05:15 GMT, on a pass from northwestern Kansas to eastern Quebec.

The crew faced the camera looking behind at the Soyuz as the ISS tracks towards northeast. The video begins looking southwest from the ISS towards Dallas/Forth Worth, Oklahoma City, and Houston. As the pass continues northeast, cities like Kansas City, St. Louis, and Chicago are seen.

The Michigan Peninsula stands out well against the contrast of the Great Lakes as the ISS passes over to Ontario and Quebec, where we can see cities like Toronto and Montreal.
