I took this image of the Eye of the Sahara from 500km above in space on April 28, 2023. As that is part of my job at Kongsberg NanoAvionics where we build satellites, it belongs to the company. So don't treat it as an entry for the prize, I just thought it would be fun to see you and Elia critique it. ;)

A bit of dehaze on the Eye of the Sahara.

The satellite is basically 50x50x50cm or 20x20x20" in size.

Glad to hear! We even have a 4K video of the selfie stick deployment, if you're curious:
