 A NASA astronaut has provided the world a beautiful impression of Earth, as observed from space. Colonel Doug Hurley, who is currently onboard the International Space Station, shared a photo of a Saharan dust plume spreading over the Atlantic Ocean a few hours ago.

An immense Saharan Dust Plume has been recognized From Space in NASA Astronaut's photograph. According to CNN, the Saharan dust plume is advancing its way across the Atlantic from Africa to the U.S. The dust, direct from the Sahara Desert, is so dense that it is noticeable from space as grey clouds developing over blue water. "We flew over this Saharan dust plume today in the west-central Atlantic. Amazing how large an area it covers!" wrote astronaut Doug Hurley while illustrating the extensive size of the plume.

In the little over 13 hours after the photo was shared on the microblogging platform, it has received over 22,000 'likes' and hundreds of comments. The swath of dust is being moved across the planet by east-to-west Trade Winds."Large plumes of Saharan dust routinely track into the Atlantic Ocean from late spring into early fall. Every so often, when the dust plume is large enough and trade winds set up just right, the dust can travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic and into the US." CNN Meteorologist Haley Brink stated.

Doug Hurley is one of the two astronauts who went to space at the beginning of this month in a historic flight. Mr. Hurley and Robert Behnken entered the International Space Station on June 1 after a landmark 19-hour trip on SpaceX's two-stage Falcon 9 rocket.
