Twitter users were quick to point out that Kimbrough’s photo resembled the human body, with Atlantic City and suburbs west of Philadelphia forming the outline of lungs, and New York City and Philadelphia representing internal organs.
@astro_kimbrough @NASA Gorgeous shot! It kinda looks like lungs, does it?

@paintitcat @astro_kimbrough @NASA Yep, totally looks like a chest X-ray heart and all.
