The city imaged above is Cape Town, South Africa. What direction is the camera facing? What hint is there in the photograph that you are not looking North? What direction is the camera facing? What can you say about the location of the image? What can you tell me about where this image was taken and the direction that the camera was facing? This image was taken from Australia. What direction relative to the horizon are the stars apparently moving? The orange trail is a rocket launch as seen from Santa Cruz, California. What direction is the camera facing? Orions Belt lies very close to the Celestial Equator in this picture taken over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. What direction is the camera facing? What is the approximate latitude of the image. Rocket Launch from the Kennedy Space Center's Turn Basin. What direction is the camera facing? What is the approximate latitude of the camera?
