Summary

DescriptionISS-062-E-112756 (Ankara) lrg.jpg	English: Ankara, the capital of Turkey, stands out in bright shades of white and yellow in this nighttime photograph taken by an astronaut from the International Space Station. If Ankara is the geographic and political heart of Turkey, the railroad and highway systems certainly act as the arteries. These well-lit transportation networks encircle and radiate outward from the city center. The two most distinct nighttime colors in Ankara are the pockets of white light and the more widespread yellow-orange hues. The colors come from different light bulb technologies, and broadly outline a separation between industrial and residential areas. The industrial city of Sincan, for example, emits powerful white light, while yellow streetlights add a warm glow to neighborhoods that show up with signature red rooftops during the day. The unique shape of the Atatürk Mausoleum and its surrounding parkland—final resting place for the first president of the Republic of Turkey—stands out amid the nighttime lights in the center of Ankara. Deutsch: Ankara, die Hauptstadt der Türkei, hebt sich in dieserPhotographie eines Astronauten an Bord der Internationalen Raumstation in hellen Schattierungen von Weiß und Gelb von der nachtblauen Umgebung ab. Wenn Ankara das geographische und politische Herz der Türkei ist, dann sind die Eisenbahn und Straßennetzes seine Arterien. Dieses hell erleuchtete Verkehrnetz umgibt das Zentrum und erstreckt sich radial vom Zentrum in die Vorstädte und die Umgebung. Die beiden aufälligsten Farbtöne zu Nachtzeiten über Ankara sind die Kapseln weißen Lichts und die weiter verstreuten gelb-orangen Bereiche. Diese Farben resultieren aus unterschiedlichen Technologien bei den Lichtquellen und stellen im großen und ganzen eine Trennung von Industrie- und Wohngebieten dar. Die Industriestadt Sincan beispielsweise strahlt kräftiges weißes Lich ab, während gelbes Straßenlicht einen warmen Schimmer auf die Stadtviertel werfen, die tagsüber durch signalrote Dächer auffallen. Die eindeutige Form des Atatürk-Mausoleums und des umgebenden Parks — letzte Ruhestätte des ersten Staatspräsidenten der Türkischen Republik — fällt auf inmitten der nächtlihen Beleuchtung im Zentrum von Ankara.
