International Space Station captures Washington, D.C. from space for inauguration

By Jason Samenow

 

Coinciding with Inauguration weekend, the International Space Station has been flying over Washington, D.C., grabbing stunning imagery in the process - by night and by day. These wonderful views were made possible by perfectly clear skies. Thank you mother nature!

The above image was posted to Twitter earlier today by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. His description: “Washington D.C. on Saturday night of the Inaugural Weekend. You can even follow the parade route.”
