|Description ={{en|1=Whether seen at [[night]] or during the [[day]], the capital city of Brazil is unmistakable from orbit. Brasília is located on a plateau—the Planalto Central—in the west-central part of the country, and is widely considered to be one of the best examples of [[20th century]] [[:Category:Urban planning|urban planning]] in the [[world]]. One of its most distinctive [[:Category:Design|design]] features—as seen from above—suggests a [[bird]], [[butterfly]], or [[airplane]] travelling along a north-west south-east direction, and is made dramatically visible by city [[light]] patterns (image centre right, between [[Lake Paranoá]] and the [[airport]]). The developed areas of Brasília and its satellites are clearly outlined by street grids and [[highway]] lights in this astronaut photograph taken from the [[International Space Station]]. The large unlit region to the upper right is the [[:Category:Parque Nacional de Brasília|Brasília National Park]]. Other dark regions to the bottom and left include agricultural fields and expanses of the [[:Category:Cerrado|Cerrado]] tropical savanna. }}
