Huntsville sits in the Tennessee Valley of northern Alabama, where rolling foothills meet the broad lowlands of the Tennessee River basin. Known as Rocket City, it is closely tied to the United States’ space program: NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center has been a major center for rocket and propulsion work since the early Space Age. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center preserves this legacy with spacecraft displays and the Saturn V rocket. Downtown grew around Big Spring, whose waters remain a focal point of Big Spring International Park. Discover how Huntsville connects with northern Alabama by browsing webcams nearby.
