The astronaut got the real deal. :) His lucky day.

There are people who hand hold telescopes with cameras attached taking pictures of satellites like the ISS. They’ll snap hundreds at a time hoping that one gets the target and comes out clear.

I was surprised too when I visited Cairo and Giza .. The Sphinx and Pyramids are right next to all kinds of community, etc..

It’s a cool pic but calling it “exquisitely sharp “ is quite a stretch.

I was thinking how as a kids, lots of us dreamed of visiting the pyramids. Too bad it’s no longer a place I would feel safe.

I have to make this short. I’m on my way to Atlantic City. Lol. Jk. I live on Staten Island and they made a casino 20 minutes away but thank God I have no interest in going. Just atlantic city a couple of times a year. for some reason when something is made so abundant it becomes less exciting.

"Its a cool pic but calling it exquisitely sharp is quite a stretch." The smog in Cairo is incredible. This is remarkably clear.
