The international space station posted some incredible views of Massachusetts on Sunday. The X account @ISSAboveYou shared video of what the city of Boston and the region of Cape Cod look like from above the Earth.
The video is from a recent passover, which happened shortly after 12:15 p.m. on Sunday.
The international space station orbits around the earth every 90 minute at a speed of 5 miles per second. The crew of 7 sees the sunrise 16 times in a 24 hour period.
