NASA’s Photo of Olympics from Space

A member of NASA’s Expedition 38 crew on the International Space Station snapped this 600mm night view shot of Sochi, Russia a few days before the Olympics began. The “eye” in the photo is the Fisht Stadium which held the opening ceremony on February 7th. Sochi has an area of 1,353 square miles, and is on the Black Sea coast near Russia’s border with Georgia.
