[:ja]ISSから見たゴビ砂漠。あまりに広くて、一見「スターウォーズ フォースの覚醒」に出てくる惑星ジャクーのようです。スコット・ケリー宇宙飛行士も「ゴビ砂漠を端から端まで歩いたら飛行ミッションの期間(約1年)かかってしまう」と呟いていました。

[Earthview Wonders] No.14: Gobi Desert

Gobi Desert from ISS. So broad that it looks like the Planet Jakku in Star Wars: Episode 7 The Force Awakens. Astronaut Scott Kelly remarked “it would take the length of my mission (almost 1 year) to travel from end to end.”
