Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti captured from ISS the night view of Casablanca, Morocco.
Casablanca is Morocco’s chief port and one of the largest financial centers on the African continent. While one of the most important Casablancan exports is phosphate, other industries include fishing and its peripheral industries. The leading Moroccan companies and many international corporations doing business in the country have their headquarters and main industrial facilities in Casablanca. Recent industrial statistics show Casablanca holds its recorded position as the primary industrial zone of the nation. The Port of Casablanca is one of the largest artificial ports in the world, and the second largest port in North Africa.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
