The borders of three African nations, Libya, Sudan, and Egypt, meet in the eastern portion of the Sahara. Can you see them?

This is just one of the amazing photographs of Earth that the International Space Station produces and shares every year, taken by astronauts aboard¹.

Having the opportunity, like no other generation before us, to contemplate the beauty of our little blue dot, we should take advantage to rethink some of our ideas… e.g. paraphrasing Daniel Dennett… If everyone forgot what a border is, there wouldn’t be any border anymore.

Enjoy the photos!
