SL4-138-3820 (31 Dec. 1973) --- An north-looking oblique view of chains of star sand dunes in eastern Algeria as seen from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. This picture was taken by one of the Skylab 4 crewmen with a hand-held 70mm Hasselblad camera. The low sun angle of about 25 degrees above horizontal enhances the detail in this picture.
