  Title: STS-56 ESC Earth observation of Atlanta, Georgia at night
  Description:
  STS-56 electronic still camera (ESC) Earth observation image shows 
  metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia at night as recorded on the 64th orbit of 
  Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. The image was recorded using an image 
  intensifier on the Hand-held, Earth-oriented, Real-time, Cooperative, 
  User-friendly, Location-targeting and Environmental System (HERCULES).

  pictures of Earth as they merely point a modified 35mm camera and shoot any 
  interesting feature, whose latitude and longitude are automatically 
  determined in real-time.  Center coordinates on this image are 33.738
  degrees  north latitude and 84.414 degrees west longitude. Digital file
