.In this June 26, 2023, picture drawn from the International Space Station, sunlight shines off the hassle-free waters of the Alabama Stream in a phenomenon called sunglint. When capturing Earth, rocketeers usually make use of sunglint's propensity to improve the comparison between water surfaces as well as surrounding property surface areas.In the 1960s, the Alabama Waterway was repressed, generating Dannelly Tank (the huge shining location at facility left). Construction of the dam likewise brought up water table upriver. This caused flooding at a number of aspects along the stream. These flooded zones are actually typical of flood plains-- the poor, standard regions immediately beside larger rivers. In this image, flooded zones seem like uneven, intense shapes prolonging away from the stream, like at Gee's Bend (facility bottom).Text Credit Report: Justin Wilkinson.Photo Credit: NASA/Woody Hoburg.
