PIX4658382: Algerian Sahara seen by satellite - Algerian Sahara seen from space - The Tanezrouft Basin is one of the most desolate regions of the Sahara Desert, in southern Algeria. The Tanezrouft region is characterised by its hills of dark gres, its subdued canyons, its stretches of salt (in white), its rocky plateaus, the concentric loop patterns of its storey outcrops and its seas with sand dunes as tall as buildings and which are called ergs. The Erg Mehedjibat, which appears here as a bouquet of yellow flowers (at the top right), is made up of small star dunes that grow in height rather than horizontally. The Japanese satellite ALOS (Advanced Land Observation Satellite) took this image on 24 June 2009 using its camera AVNIR - 2 (Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type - 2) which was designed to map emergeal lands and vegetation with a resolution of 10 m. The image shows the extraordinary landscape of the Tanezrouft Basin, one of the most desolate parts of the Sahara desert, in south - central Algeria. The region is known as 'land of terror' because of its lack of water and vegetation. As visible, this region is characterised by dark sandstone hills, steep canyon walls, salt flats (white), stone plateaus, sandstone outcrop patterns of concentric loops and sprawling seas of multi - storey sand dunes known as 'ergs'. Erg Mehedjibat, which appears as a yellow bouquet of flowers (upper right), is made up of a cluster of small star dunes that grow upward rather than laterally. Japan's ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite) captured this image on 24 June 2009 with its Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type - 2 (AVNIR - 2) instrument. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4658475: Satellite photo of the Rub al Khali desert - Rub 'al Khali desert seen from space - Rub al-Khali (the Empty Quarter), is one of the largest deserts and the largest uninterrupted expanse of sand in the world. It covers nearly 600,000 square kilometres in the Arabian Peninsula, located mostly in Saudi Arabia and in the territories of Yemen, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The image obtained by the Terra satellite on 2 December 2005 covers an area of 54.8 km by 61.9 km and shows the fields of sand dunes separated by flat and saline stretches, sebkha (or sabkha). The Arabian Peninsula's Empty Quarter, known as Rub 'al Khali, is the world's largest sand sea, holding about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert. The Empty Quarter covers 583,000 square kilometers (225,000 square miles), and stretches over parts of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The ASTER instrument on Nasa's Terra satellite captured this image of the Empty Quarter on December 2, 2005, covering an area of 54.8 x 61.9 km, located near 20.7 degrees north latitude, 53.6 degrees east. Grey White salt flats, known as sebkhas or sabkhas, separate the dunes / Bridgeman Images

PIX4659192: Africa by satellite. Volcano Virunga - Zaire - 01/07/1993 This is a false - color radar image of Central Africa, showing the Virunga Volcano chain along the borders of Rwanda, Zaire and Uganda. This area is home to the endangered mountain gorillas. This C - and L - band image was acquired on April 12, 1994, on orbit 58 of space shuttle Endeavour by the Spaceborne Imaging Radar - C/X - band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR - C/X - SAR). The area is centered at about 1.75 degrees south latitude and 29.5 degrees east longitude. The image covers an area 58 kilometers by 178 kilometers (48 miles by 178 miles). The false - color composite is created by displaying the L - band HH return in red, the L - band HV return in green and the C - band HH return in blue. The dark area in the bottom of the image is Lake Kivu, which forms the border between Zaire (to the left) and Rwanda (to the right). The airport at Goma, Zaire is shown as a dark line just above the lake in the bottom left corner of the image. Volcanic flows from the 1977 eruption of Mt. Nyiragongo are shown just north of the airport. Mt. Nyiragongo is not visible in this image because it is located just to the left of the image swath. Very fluid lava flows from the 1977 eruption killed 70 people. Mt. Nyiragongo is currently erupting (August 1994) and will be a target of observation during the second flight of SIR - C/X - SAR. The large volcano in the center of the image is Mt. Karisimbi (4,500 meters or 14,800 feet). This radar image highlights subtle differences in the vegetation and volcanic flows of the region. The faint lines shown in the purple regions are believed to be the result of agriculture terracing by the people who live in the region. The vegetation types are an important factor in the habitat of the endangered mountain gorillas. Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in London will use this data to produce vegetation maps of the area to aid in their study of t / Bridgeman Images

PIX4655341: Hypertelescope Carlina - Carlina Hypertelescope concept - This hypertelescope concept is the optical analogue of Arecibo's radiotelescope, but it uses a balloon to carry focal optics. On the ground, several mirrors in a crater or a natural bowl form a virtual giant mirror. Principle of the Carlina hypertelescope. Many small mirrors are distributed on a spherical surface. A helium balloon carries a gondola that contains focal optics / Bridgeman Images
