Astronaut aboard ISS captured Plymouth, U.K.
Plymouth is a port city and unitary authority in Devon, South West England. Plymouth’s history extends back to the Bronze Age, evolving from a trading post at Mount Batten into the thriving market town of Sutton, which was formally re-named as Plymouth in 1439 when it was made a borough. The settlement has played a significant role in English history, notably in 1588 when an English fleet based here defeated the Spanish Armada, and in 1620 as the departure point for the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World. Plymouth has a moderated temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) which is wetter and milder than the rest of England.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
