NASA astronaut Scott Kelly on the International Space Station tweeted this earth observation image out on Apr. 14, 2015 as part of his Space Geo trivia contest. Scott tweeted this comment and clue: "#SpaceGeo! In 1962, former Astronaut John Glenn's Friendship 7 Mercury landed in this vicinity. Name it!"
Congratulations to @Rainmaker1973 for correctly identifying this image as the Turks and Caicos Islands first. He will receive an autographed copy of this image when Scott returns to Earth in March 2016.
