NASA unveils a mind-blowing photo of an ‘upside-down city’, and it’s real!

On June 24, Nasa unveiled its latest Astronomy Picture of the day. And, it created a storm, for people are amazed to see such a picture. No doubt, the picture went viral in no time. The picture in question shows an upside-down city beneath the clouds, and that is Chicago City.
At the first glimpse, the picture seemed like a still picture from some science fiction. But everyone was very much surprised to know that the picture was very much real, and was clicked by photographer Mark Hersch.

When delved deeper, it appeared that the picture was unedited, and clearly shows Chicago City, but from a different angle, which was captured by Mark from an aeroplane, while approaching Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
Regarding how such a thing can happen, NASA explained that the city, Chicago, was actually perfectly right-side up. It stated, “The long shadows it projected onto nearby Lake Michigan near sunset, however, when seen in reflection, made the buildings appear inverted.”
NASA further added that the Sun can be seen both above and below the cloud deck, with the latter reflected in the calm lake. And the upside-down city isn’t the only thing to look out in this mind-blowing photo. NASA also explained that as a bonus, if you look really closely, which is quite a challenge, one will be able to see another airplane in the image, which was likely also approaching the same airport.

Well, the photograph is out there, showing the upside-down version of Chicago, which isn’t really is, but certainly looks like it.
