NASA keeps watching this giant 'eye' in the Sahara from space but it has a surprising earthly origin
Astronauts marvelled at the Sahara's 'Eye of the Sahara,' the Richat Structure, a geological wonder in Mauritania. Far from a meteor impact, this massive formation, spanning 25-30 miles, is a domed anticline sculpted by millions of years of differential erosion. Its distinct rings, revealing ancient rock layers, serve as a vital landmark for space missions.
