The Sahara desert photographed from space via the Sally Ride EarthKAM
This far-out image of the Sahara desert was taken from space by the Sally Ride EarthKAM, a camera aboard the International Space Station. The EarthKAM is programmed remotely by middle school students around the world as part of a NASA educational programme established by physicist and astronaut Sally Ride, who became the first American woman to travel to space in 1983.
