Is this an alien? Surprising view of Sahara desert seen from space in NASA’s video
People have always been interested in talking about other planets and aliens. Space scientists also often keep taking pictures of other planets from the space station to know more and more about the universe. A similar video is being seen a lot on the internet these days. This video, shared on X from an account named Wonder of Science, is said to be taken from Johnson Space Center NASA. Looking at this video, it seems that these are pictures of Mars or Mercury, but the interesting thing is that these pictures are not of any other planet but of our own Earth.
Our earth looks strange
Actually, this video taken from the space station is of that part of the Earth where the vast Sahara desert is located. Because of this huge desert it seems as if this is not Earth but some other planet. Therefore, it has also been clarified in the caption given along with the video that this planet, which looks like an alien planet due to the storms, tornadoes and clouds rising in the desert, is actually Earth. Commenting on this video, a user wrote that when such spectacular clouds and storms are visible on Earth itself, then why do we need aliens.
This alien-looking planet is actually the Earth seen from space as sandstorms and cumulonimbus clouds cover the Sahara Desert.

Let us tell you that the Sahara Desert located in the northern part of Africa is the largest and hottest desert in the world. Many countries of the world like Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Sudan and Tunisia are settled in or near this desert. Most of the Sahara is barren, covered with rocky plateaus, salt flats, dunes, mountains and dry valleys. The climate here is quite difficult. Here the temperature reaches 58 degrees in the summer season. Obviously the conditions here are very difficult for humans, hence the population here is also quite sparse.
