The Border Between Iran and Iraq Photographed From Space

This photograph taken from the International Space Station (which means, it was taken not by a human but by a satellite) reveals what's left of the Iraqi fortifications from the Iran-Iraq war. You can spot the demarcations and the outlines of all the different structures and formations that were made back then, with Iran being on the bottom and Iraq on the top. In our book, it truly is a sight to behold.

This probably should not come as a surprise to anyone, but things do seem to be more interesting when you change you view them as an astronaut would - from outer space.
