Their obscurity is partly the result of having been made from the soil and stone of the surrounding landscape. And although the Great Wall is thousands of miles long, it’s only about twenty feet wide—much narrower than the U.S. interstate highways you can barely see from a transcontinental jet. From orbit, with the unaided eye, you would have seen smoke plumes rising from the oil-field fires in Kuwait at the end of the first Persian Gulf War in 1991 and smoke from the burning World Trade Center towers in New York City on September 11, 2001. You will also notice the green–brown boundaries between swaths of irrigated and arid land. Beyond that shortlist, there’s not much else made by humans that’s identifiable from hundreds of miles up in the sky. You can see plenty of natural scenery, though, including hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, ice floes in the North Atlantic, and volcanic eruptions wherever they occur.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Neil deGrasse Tyson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/neil-degrasse-tyson/by-day-contrary-to-common-wisdom-you-probably-won-t-see-the-great/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d6/neil-degrasse-tyson-143_great-wall_by-day-contrary-to-common-wisdom-you-pro_985173.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d6/neil-degrasse-tyson-143_great-wall_by-day-contrary-to-common-wisdom-you-pro_985173.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d6/neil-degrasse-tyson-143_great-wall_by-day-contrary-to-common-wisdom-you-pro_985173.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“By day, contrary to common wisdom, you probably won’t see the Great Pyramids at Giza, and you certainly…” — Neil deGrasse Tyson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“The will of God or the lunacy of man - it seemed to him that you could take your choice, if you wanted a good enough reason for most things.
