Israel's Lebanon bombardment visible from space

"Of course it was visible. You know, all negative human activities, in particular military operations, are immediately visible from space," said cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov, during a press conference at the Star City space facility, just outside of Moscow. Vinogradov was speaking three days after returning to Earth following a six-month ISS mission.

"Of course we saw the fires, especially when it was a big city, it was very easily visible even without our instruments. You could see it with the naked eye," Vinogradov continued.
