UAE’s Satellite Shoots Photo Of Masjid AL Haram From Space And It Is EPIC

Avatar

The UAE sent a satellite in space back in October 2018 as part of its ambitious space program. The satellite was built by Emirati engineers and named KhalifaSat.

It recently snapped a photo of Masjid Al Haram from space and it’s unlike we’ve ever seen before.

This photo deserves to be framed.

The image was tweeted by the official handle of the Mohammad bin Rashid Space Centre.

In the photo, one can see the stark contrast of the shining structure of the Masjid Al Haram the mountainous dusty plains that surround it. The image is so clear that one can even spot pilgrims circumambulating the Kaaba.
