Norra USA
Norra USA (engelska: Northern United States) eller Nordstaterna (engelska: North) är de norra delarna av USA. United States Census Bureau delar in dessa delstater i Mellanvästern och nordöstra regionen.[1] United States Census Bureau omfattar i sitt begrepp även delstaterna vid USA:s gräns mot Kanada inom västra regionen.[1]
Historia
Under nordamerikanska inbördeskriget under 1860-talet fick begreppet en något annorlunda innebörd. Då handlade det i stället om de så kallade Nordstaterna ("Unionen"), som slogs mot sydstaterna ("konfederationen").

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken October 15, 2011 from 03:42:54 to 03:52:36 GMT, on a pass from just west of San Francisco, California over the Pacific Ocean to the southern tip of the Hudson Bay. The video begins as the ISS is just west of San Francisco flying north-east. The coastal lights distinguish the land and water here. The pass continues north-east toward Wyoming and North Dakota, before crossing over into Canada. From here, the Aurora Borealis is seen, with an interesting looking angle from underneath the lights. A blanket of clouds cover Manitoba and Ontario as the ISS tracks closer to the Northern Lights.
