See captivating views as ISS passes over Bay Area, Delta, Folsom Lake and snowy Tahoe
The International Space Station passed over Northern California on Sunday and took incredibly clear satellite video of some familiar locations.
ISS orbits at about 254 miles above Earth. The video, tweeted by @ISSAboveYou, looks down on the Bay Area, the Delta, the Sacramento metro area, Folsom Lake, the Motherlode, the northern Sierra and Lake Tahoe.
In a tweet, @ISSAboveYou wrote: “Hello, #BayArea folks. This was you at 1:47 PM this afternoon when the @Space_Station passed overhead on the way across the snowy Sierra Nevada - with clear views all the way to Lake Tahoe and beyond.”
