Summary edit

Description
English: This detailed astronaut photograph illustrates the southern coastline of the Hawaiian island Oahu, including Pearl Harbour. The urban areas of Waipahu, Pearl City, and Aliamanu border the harbour to the north-west, north, and east. The built-up areas, recognizable by linear streets and white rooftops, contrast sharply with the reddish volcanic soils and green vegetation on the surrounding hills.
