PHOTOS: This is what the Indo-Pak border looks from space
October 06, 2015

India and Pakistan might be quarrelling on several issues, but the view from above, far above, is quite different. 

NASA released a photo taken by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station which captures the India-Pakistan border in the nighttime. 

On its site, NASA said that the border is one of the few international boundaries that can be seen at night, because of the orange security lights that stretch from one end to the other.

Of the hundreds of clusters, the largest are the capital cities of Islamabad, Pakistan, and New Delhi, India.

The photograph which was shared on the NASA’s official Facebook page has received more than 70,000 likes and has been shared more than 15,000 times.
