The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released aerial night images of Taiwan taken from outer space 223 miles (358.88 kilometers) above Earth. These images have recently gone viral online, revealing the clear outline of the small island of Taiwan illuminated by the glow of city lights, with sparkling dots on the sea surface. Many netizens have expressed amazement, exclaiming, “What a beautiful sweet potato!”

As can be seen in the image, the three major metropolitan areas in western Taiwan — northern, central, and southern — are brightly lit, connecting with the eastern region starting from Yilan’s lights, outlining the adorable sweet potato shape of Taiwan. Off the northern coast, fishing boats operating at sea resemble scattered stars on the ocean surface, making the beautiful island of Taiwan a sight to behold.
