Astronaut shares view of eroded Sahara desert from space
French astronaut Thomas Pesquet shared a picture of wind-eroded Sahara desert, which he shot from the International Space Station. "The erosion by the wind is clearly visible in the Sahara desert: as if the paint had flowed over tens of kilometres," Pesquet tweeted. The astronaut is on a six-month mission on the Earth-orbiting spacecraft to perform experiments in space.
