Description:
|
This striking photograph shows a massive sandstorm sweeping over the Persian Gulf state of Qatar as it races southward toward southeastern Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on February 15, 2004. A major upper level low pressure over southwestern Asia led to a series of storms sweeping through the area. The crew of the International Space Station acquired this image with a digital camera using a 50-mm lens. Astronaut photograph ISS0 08-E-16355 was provided by the Gate way to Astronaut Photography of Earth at NASA Johnson Space Center.
