An astronaut aboard the ISS took the nighttime panorama while looking north across Pakistan’s Indus river valley. The border between the two countries is one of the few worldwide boundaries that can be seen at night, because of the orange security lights that stretch from one end to the other.

Now, an astronaut has taken a snap of India and Pakistan border from outer space. In the photograph, Karachi looms like a bright cluster of lights facing the Arabian Sea, which appears completely black.
Relations between India and Pakistan have often come to being described as complicated, and these complications manifest themselves in exchange of fire on the border.
In order to help astronauts take pictures of Earth, the worldwide Space Station Program has extended full support that will be of the maximum value to scientist and the public and to make those images without restraint accessible on Internet.
The USA area company National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared the photograph – ISS045-W-27869 – on its Facebook web page on Sunday.

The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed.
