iss074e0247459 (Feb. 1, 2026) --- Large-scale agricultural projects (right) in southern Egypt near the Sudan border—known as center-pivot irrigation systems because they use an irrigation arm that rotates 360°, forming a perfect circle of crops such as potatoes and wheat—are pictured from the International Space Station as it orbited 258 miles above the African nation. Wispy cirrus clouds partly cover the cultivated land in the barren, extremely arid Western Desert.
