Namibia's Brandberg Massif appears as a nearly perfect circular formation

iss074e0325203 (Feb. 24, 2026) --- Namibia's Brandberg Massif, near the center of the photograph, appears as a nearly perfect circular formation just inland from the Atlantic coast, and easy to mistake for a meteorite impact crater when seen from space. At left, is the Soyuz MS-28 crew spacecraft docked to the Rassvet module. At right, the Prichal docking module is attached to the Nauka science module. The International Space Station was orbiting 266 miles above southern Africa at the time of this photograph. Credit: NASA/Jessica Meir
