5 artificial landscapes visible from the universe

Watch the great pyramids of Giza, the Golden Gate Bridge . taken from satellites.

The universe is really vast but have you ever wondered what kind of landscapes we can see from outer space? You can clearly see the Amazon River when flying a few kilometers above sea level. But if you look from the Moon, you can hardly distinguish the differences between continents.

Even our planet looks like a green ink spot on the surface of Mars observed. However, astronauts on the international space station (The International Space Station) have tried to give us unique images of 5 artificial landscapes visible from the universe.

1. The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza is located in an ancient monument complex of Giza Plateau, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. Although the white limestone casing has been greatly eroded over time, as well as the surrounding temples have been ruined but the size of these majestic buildings has shocked visitors.

The work is considered one of the greatest achievements in human history. Even today there are still many controversial theories about the method used by ancient masons.

If you still can't see the Great Pyramid of Giza, look closely at the 3 black dots in the center of the image.

In fact, more than 80 pyramids in Egypt were built over 100 years but the Giza pyramids were the largest and best preserved thanks to the certainty of the construction.

Egyptologists in general said that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2560 BC. This pyramid is believed to be the tomb of Pharaon Kheops of the fourth dynasty in ancient Egypt.

The prime minister of Kheops, Hemiunu, is said to be the architect of this great pyramid. To this day, among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Giza is still an "older" wonder and only exists in an intact way.

2. Golden Gate Bridge

As one of the most attractive places to visit in the United States, the Golden Gate Bridge (Golden Gate) is world famous with its characteristic red color.

Not only is San Francisco's own symbol, the Golden Gate Bridge is also the symbol of the land of flowers, comparable to the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State building in New York or the Grand Canyon (Grand Canyon) in Arizona. This suspension bridge connects the Golden Gate, the gateway of San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

The Golden Globe image on the right is more prominent than the surrounding bridges.

Completed in 1937, with a length of 2,737m, a width of 27m and a height of 227m, this is the longest suspension bridge in the world at that time (this title today belongs to the Akashi Kaiko bridge in Japan).

Every year, millions of tourists from all over the world come here to admire, admire the wonderful things that people can do.

3. US 50 route crossing the desert

You will be surprised but according to astronauts, the national highways are easy to see from the space station, especially the way through the desert.

Looking from the universe, they look like straight lines on the map, stretching from place to place. The US continental highway - US50 is one of them.

The two sides of the road are just grasslands, mountains and deserts stretching between Missouri and California. This route was exploited from 1860 to cut in the middle of Nevada East-West.

On the tens of kilometers of the road without any village, that's why it is called the "most unique road in America".

4. Big cities at night

When night falls, high above, we can't see anything except the lights from the big cities. Space exploration machine has taken hundreds of photos of urban areas around the world.

Photos of Hanoi shimmering at night.

These are mostly stretching lights, intermingled and overlapping. Whether it is a developing country or a developed country, the city scenery is still wearing a shiny, attractive shirt.

Saigon is no less magnificent.

5. Almeria greenhouse

Every year, tons of clean vegetables and fruits are exported from giant greenhouses in the city of Almeria, Spain to meet the demand of the old continent.

The vast greenhouse, covering the Dalías plains, extends to the valleys near Alpujarra hills as one of Spain's most pristine areas.

Built in the 1980s, this giant Almeria complex is 26,000 hectares wide, bringing in annual revenues of more than one billion dollars to the locality. Not only brings huge economic benefits, the white-roof greenhouse complex also has a significant positive impact on the environment.

They reflect sunlight back into the atmosphere to lower the temperature of the area. While the temperature of the rest of Spain has increased more than the world average, the temperature here has decreased frequently at 0.3 degrees Celsius every 10 years (since 1983).
