sciencealert:
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet managed to snap this photo of the ‘Eye of Africa’ in the Sahara Desert from on board the ISS. 😳 Originally, scientists thought the eye - which is sometimes called the Richat Structure and has a diameter of 50 kilometres (31 miles) - was formed by a meteorite impact, though newer studies suggest that it was created through erosion. Either way, it really does look like an eye! 📷: ESA/Thomas Pesquet #Space #Nature #ScienceAlert http://ift.tt/2hsYKD8
