Białystok [[bʲjaˈwɨstɔk] (byah-WIH-stawck; Belarusian: Беласток Bielastok, Lithuanian: Balstogė, Russian: Белосток Belostok, Yiddish: ביאַליסטאָק Byalistok) is the largest city in northeastern Poland and the capital of the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
Located in the Białystok Uplands (Polish: Wysoczyzna Białostocka) of the Podlaskie Plain (Polish: Nizina Północnopodlaska) on the banks of the Biała River, Białystok ranks second in terms of population density, eleventh in population, and thirteenth in area, of the cities of Poland. It has historically attracted migrants from elsewhere in Poland and beyond, particularly from Central and Eastern Europe. This is facilitated by the fact that the nearby border with Belarus is also the eastern border of the European Union, as well as the Schengen Area. The city and its adjacent municipalities constitute Metropolitan Białystok. The city has a Warm Summer Continental climate, characterized by warm summers and long frosty winters. Forests are an important part of Białystok's character, and occupy around 1,756 ha (4,340 acres) (17.2% of the administrative area of the city) which places it as the fifth most forested city in Poland.
Białystok is an eucrite meteorite (previously classified as howardite) that fell on 5 October 1827 in the area of Fasty and Knyszyn villages, NNW of Białystok, Poland. The fall occurred at around 9:30 am. Several specimens were recovered.
Białystok is a city in northeastern Poland.

Watch me build an empire to destroy
And you should fear me, I'm a person to avoid
I'll use you befriend you I can pretend
You're important to me and I have nothing inside
So I'll hitch a ride, my friend
You give me everything I think I need
And you christen me, the new messia to believe
I want this, need it, want you to worship who I think I
Am, and I have dillusioons of grandeur feed these fires inside
I harness the thunder of days gone by, of dreams
That all but pass my by, I'll never surrender
Never to reside, do you know who I am?
Watch me when I have nothing left to see
And you can hear me I'm half the man I used to be
I fooled you, conned you, used you, ignored you
And threw you aside, for me it's one more step
To the pinnacle of fame
I harness the thunder of days gone by,
of dreams that all but pass my by,
I'll never surrender never reside,
I'm all, but gone
And we were young, and quick to act
We'd rule the world
Rule throughout the land
Now I am free, do for myself
And I am my own savior
I reached the highest peak
And assailed the highest high
I'm on my way, way to the afterlife
I'm on the brink
The brink of something great
And when I leave my body
lay into the grave
what is this place, what is this time
what is this force here
that will give me piece of mind
years I would fall, years I would die, years I
was stopped and yet I raise th higher heights
you watch, you'll see, when you are with me
your faster than you were before
you'll kill with a violent force
you watch, you'll see, I bask in victory
and all will die away
you live your life, I'll stand on high
and I look down, down at you in your pain
now you are gone, and you are weak
