Eye Of Sahara Explained: NASA says Richat Structure not a crater; dunes, dust reshape global systems
Astronauts marvelled at the Sahara’s ‘Eye of the Sahara,’ the Richat Structure, a geological wonder in Mauritania.

Its distinct rings, revealing ancient rock layers, serve as a vital landmark for space missions.
