This nadir picture of Galveston Island and its coastline on the Gulf of Mexico was taken by one of the Expedition 39 crew members aboard the International Space Station on March 12. It was among the first batch of Earth photographs downlinked near the beginning of the Expedition 38 mission. The clear weather and the 800mm focal length used to record the photo allow for very detailed "bird's eye" viewing of the storied city. The Interstate 45 causeway can be seen at bottom center, and Scholes International Airport is seen nearby.
