| from AOSHQ overnight thread. Cool pics The border between India and Pakistan is one of the few international boundaries that can be easily identified from space. Late last month, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Earth Observatory shared a nighttime image of the international border that divides India and Pakistan. Amid countless dots and some larger blobs of yellow, the border between the two countries can be seen as a distinct, brightly-lit orange line‐thanks to the security lights that run the length of the boundary. Nearly 2,000 kilometres, out of about 3,300 kilometres, of the India-Pakistan border is floodlit, according to Indian government officials, which racks up massive electricity and diesel bills. |
