Watch as the International Space Station takes you from just southwest of Mexico up the United States Eastern Seaboard, hitting all the major cities (New Orleans, Mobile, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City):

In a similar view of the plain states, though from a different direction, this video takes you though San Antonio and Houston up past Chicago (can you make out the Mitten State's shape around 0:30?):

Vibrant northern lights can been seen in this footage taken from North Dakota toward Quebec:

Did you spot your city?
