About this work
STS091-707-015 (2-12 June 1998) --- This nearly vertical photograph of Houston was taken from the Space Shuttle Discovery. Houston is an inland port city, linked by the Houston Ship Channel (partially visible in lower right quadrant) to the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway at Galveston (out of frame), 51 miles (82 km) southeast. It is the largest city in Texas and was the fourth largest U.S. city when the photo was taken.
