If you were to look at a map of South America, you would see that the Amazon River cuts through the continent like a giant snake. The Amazon is the largest river in the world, and it is so long that it can be seen from space! NASA astronauts have even said that they can see the Amazon River when they are orbiting the Earth in the space shuttle.<\/p>\n

No, you cannot see the Amazon River from space.<\/p>\n

Can you see river from space? <\/h2>\n

It is clear that satellite imagery has made great strides in recent years in terms of our ability to see rivers and lakes. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of our ability to see the height of the water in them. Tamlin Pavelsky, SWOT hydrology science lead at the University of North Carolina, is working on this problem and is hopeful that our ability to see the height of the water in rivers and lakes will improve in the near future.<\/p>\n

It is fascinating to think that there are still huge parts of the Amazon that have not been explored by archaeologists. It was previously assumed that ancient communities would have preferred to live near major rivers, but the new evidence shows that this was not necessarily the case. This discovery opens up a whole new world of possibilities for where ancient civilizations may have existed, and it will be exciting to see what else is uncovered in the future.<\/p>\n

Why there is no bridge on Amazon <\/h3>\n
