Gemini 12 image of the jetstream over the
Jetstream. Gemini 12 photograph of the jetstream high over the Sahara Desert in Egypt. The desert is in the foreground, and is cut across by the River Nile. The river appears as a wide, dark band of cultivated land. Further into the distance is the Red Sea, with the Sinai Peninsula seen as a triangular feature near upper left. In the far distance is part of Saudi Arabia. The jetstream is a high-altitude, fast-moving air current a few thousand kilometers in length. It is formed of cirrus clouds along the line of the tropical easterly jetstream. This photograph was taken on 14 November 1966

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Sahara Desert in Egypt from a unique perspective. Taken during the Gemini 12 mission on November 14,1966, this image showcases the jetstream high above the vast expanse of golden sand. The desert stretches out before us, interrupted by the majestic River Nile cutting through its heart like a dark ribbon of life. As our gaze extends into the distance, we are treated to a stunning view of the Red Sea shimmering under the sun's rays. The triangular shape of Sinai Peninsula stands proudly near the upper left corner, while glimpses of Saudi Arabia emerge on the horizon. The star of this photograph is undoubtedly the jetstream itself – an awe-inspiring phenomenon characterized by fast-moving cirrus clouds that span thousands of kilometers across Earth's atmosphere. This high-altitude air current showcases nature's power and complexity as it carves its path through our skies. With its rich blend of elements – desert sands, flowing river, distant sea, and ethereal cloud formations – this image encapsulates both Earth's grandeur and delicate balance. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly barren landscapes like deserts, life thrives and incredible forces shape our planet. Science Photo Library has once again captured a moment that invites contemplation about our world's natural wonders and fuels curiosity about meteorology and climate patterns.
