## Caption

Scary. I took these photos from the iss. They show two meteorite impact craters in Chad (Sahara) which are 13 and 14 km wide. Imagine how many times your city could fit in them. To avoid this in the future, europeanspaceagency works with international partner agencies on space safety. #AsteroidDay #bluedot #horizons
