Amazing #earthobservation art: The Empty Quarter in the desert of #Oman

Here's a good piece by NASA on why these massive grids were constructed. Its a tool for seismic exploration used int the oil industry. h/t @obretix earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/86118/s…

and if you're intrigued by this desert, here's a very interesting art project by the Kuwaiti artist Monira Al Qadiri on the Empty Quarter (Rub al Khali) , a large meteor crater and how the landscape starts speaking to you.
