Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Mein traurigstes Foto: von der ISS aus sehen wir Explosionen und Raketen über Gaza und Israel.
English: My saddest photo yet. From the ISS we can actually see explosions and rockets flying over Gaza and Israel.
  • Because of city lights, several points in the mid-east along the Eastern Mediterranean Sea coast and a bit inland can be delineated in this early morning view photographed by one of the Expedition 40 crew members aboard the Earth-orbiting International Space Station on July 22, 2014. A portion of the Mediterranean Sea is at the top (northwest) of this image. The orbital outpost was flying at an altitude of approximately 223 nautical miles above a point the coordinates of which are 31.7 degrees north latitude and 34.4 degrees east longitude when the image was exposed, using an 85mm lens.
