Earth as photographed on March 31, 2019 from the Berashit spacecraft making its way to the moon. The photo was taken when the spacecraft was at an altitude of about 16 km, and you can see the environment of the Middle East and North East Africa, when Israel is covered in clouds. It was a particularly windy day. Photo: The Aviation Industry and the SpaceIL association
