Thomas Pesquet posted a photo:

If there is one picture that is the cliché :camera: for astronauts in space, it is the Richat structure, also known as the Eye of Sahara or Guelb er Richat. We have all taken a picture or two (yes I have multiple from the Proxima mission, including a collage of many photos similar to what I did with Los Angeles: www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2021/05/Richat_reassembled) It is easy to spot as it is 50 km wide and so striking. In addition there are rarely clouds in this area, meaning it is always available for a photoshoot.

Un autre usual suspect des photos d’astronaute (franchement je crois qu’on l’a tous pris en photo un jour ou l’autre), c’est la structure de Richat, ou l’œil du désert. Facile à trouver parce qu’avec son diamètre de 50 km, on le voit à l’œil nu (trouvez-le sur la deuxième photo). L’absence de nuages dans cette zone aide aussi légèrement à ne pas le rater !
