Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: Earth observation images of Chicago, Illinois taken during the STS-36 mission from Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104. In this late winter scene of Chicago, Illinois, USA the light dusting of snow has actually enhanced the determination of the cities street pattern, parks and other cultural features. Sited at the south end of Lake Michigan, Chicago has long served as an industrial, transportation and communications center for the midwest. The obvious snowline on the ground enables meteorologists to trace the regional groundtracks of winter storms. These pictures were selected by the Public Affairs Office (PAO) for public release.
