Title: Houston, Texas and Gulf Coast area as seen from the Apollo 7 spacecraft
Description:
The Houston, Texas and Gulf Coast area, looking southeast, as seen from the 
Apollo 7 spacecraft during its 91st revolution of the earth. Photographed 
from an altitude of 101 nautical miles, at ground elapsed time of 144 hours 
and 26 minutes. The morning sun causes a reflection on the water surfaces 
such as the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston Bay, Buffalo Bayou and the Brazos
River  and causes a unique reflection in the canals and fields west of
Alvin. Some  of the landmarks visible in this picture include highways and
freeways, the  Astrodome, the Intercontinental Airport and the Manned
Spacecraft Center.
