India glows under starlit sky in NASA’s latest image from space

There's something enchanting about seeing the world from up above. The stars, the twinkling city lights, and the gentle glimmer of the horizon — all remind us how small yet special our world truly is. NASA recently gave us that view again, and this time around, India took center stage.

India’s Lights Shine in NASA’s Space Series
NASA on Sunday released a set of four images taken from the International Space Station. Among them was a vivid photo of India glowing at night, its cities shining under a starlit sky.

The photo, shared on NASA’s official X account, highlighted India’s dense network of city lights. The image stood out in a series that also featured nighttime views of the Midwest United States, Southeast Asia, and Canada.

One photo showed Canada framed by a faint green aurora. Another captured Southeast Asia’s mix of coast and land under clouds. The Midwest United States, too, was seen glowing under the stars.

Social Media Praises the Dazzling Display
The four-photo series was shared with the caption: “When you can see the stars above, the city lights below, and the atmospheric glow blanketing Earth's horizon.”
