    Whenever I see pictures like this I always wonder where on the Earth it’s from.

    This looks to me like right above the capsule is the Nile River flowing down to Cairo and the delta and into the Mediterranean. And the larger body of water in the top left is the Red Sea. North is down and to the left.

    Anyone confirm or have other ideas?

      Damn, well spotted. That’s gotta be it. Oddly it makes Egypt look some large from this perspective.

      I’m reasonably confident you’re correct that desert is too big to be anywhere else really.
