A vision that only the privileged few can reach.
A Tik Tok user shared a series of photos on his account that attracted the attention of thousands of users. In the pictures you can see a little-known side of nightlife in some of the most populous cities in the world: what it looks like from space.
Under the name Lucas Visuals, the tiktoker – @lucasvisual – is dedicated to sharing extraordinary, extraordinary images. This time, with great success, he showed what Buenos Aires looks like at night from the International Space Station (ISS).
This is what Buenos Aires looks like from space
There is no doubt that looking at cities from space is a unique activity. Perhaps this is what captivated the half a million Tik Tok users who played the video. The cover of the publication read: “Cities at night from space.”

The networks that make up the streets and avenues and the intense lighting of Buenos Aires' neighborhoods make locating easy. The strong point in the image, in the darkness, is the one formed in the area of 9 de Julio Avenue and Corrientes Street, right at the point where the obelisk is located.
Palermo and San Telmo are also easily recognizable by their design and the lights of the gastronomic areas in each neighborhood. In the eyes of astronauts, large cities offer a unique spectacle.
New York, Barcelona, London, Tokyo, Rome, San Francisco, Madrid and Dubai are just some of the cities shared, among dozens of images captured from the space station.
