The Al-Jawf Oasis in Eastern Libya

iss050e040690 (02/05/2017) --- The Al-Jawf Oasis in Eastern Libya is photographed by crew members aboard the International Space Station. The large circles are center-pivot irrigation systems. Photographs from the station record how the planet is changing over time, from human-caused changes like urban growth and reservoir construction, to natural dynamic events such as hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions.
