One of the great myths of space science and our civilization is that Great Wall of China It can be seen with the naked eye from space. But the reality is that astronauts who have traveled to International Space Station (ISS) of the POThave left testimony that they are not able to see the structure without using optical zoom tools.
Is there any human construction that can be seen with the naked eye from space? We could count on large cities illuminating the earth's surface at night. But that's not worth a single megastructure.
The only one that can be seen, in reality, is something called Sea of Plastic, located in the province of Almeriain Spain. According to experts from Astrorurala photo taken from the International Space Station shows what this wonderful construction of humanity looks like without problems.
“This Sea of Plastic is located in the province of Almería, near towns such as El Ejido or Roquetas del Mar, and is an important center of agricultural production, with a large area thanks to the immense number of greenhouses,” says Astrorural in its publication, which is accompanied by the photo.
The Plastic Sea gets its name from the large number of greenhouses that make it up. Precisely when seen from space, it looks like an ocean of plastic.
It is considered one of the most important agricultural areas in Europe. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables are produced here, such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, melons and watermelons, which are then distributed among several of the countries of the old continent.
It was created during the 1960s. At that time, farmers in Spain began to use plastic greenhouses to ensure that their crops were not destroyed by the wind or by the salinity of the soil itself. Thus, they achieved that the sowing of any land product could be done all year round and not by season, as is customary in other fields.
