Astronaut Kimiya Yui captured from ISS Los Angeles, California, U.S. and the Lemmon Comet. The city was energized by L.A. Dodgers’ back-to-back World Series champion.
Los Angeles (L.A.) is the most populous city in the California State, and the commercial, financial, and cultural center of Southern California. With an estimated 3.88 million residents within the city limits as of 2024, it is the 2nd-most populous city in the U.S., behind New York City. L.A. has an ethnically and culturally diverse population, and is the principal city of a metropolitan area of 12.9 million people. It became a part of the First Mexican Empire in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican-American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and became part of the U.S. L.A. was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. L.A. has a diverse economy with a broad range of industries. Despite a steep exodus of film and television production since the COVID-19 pandemic, Los Angeles is still one of the largest hubs of American film production, the world’s largest by revenue; the city is an important site in the history of film. It also has one of the busiest container ports in the Americas, and despite a business exodus from downtown Los Angeles, the city’s urban core is evolving as a cultural center with the world’s largest showcase of architecture designed by Frank Gehry.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
