The 100 m false-colour image of 1 January 2016 shows New York, USA in the centre of the image. At the lower right you can see the North Atlantic Ocean. The course of the Hudson River can be followed by the purple-red colour from the upper side of the image to the centre. New York City is the largest city of the United States of America, mainly due to the historical role in trade, finance, PR, art, and fashion. The city is called New York City to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which Albany is the capital.
