The Earth has a few sights that maybe even aliens could check out.
There are a bunch of things on Earth that are visible from space. The Great Pyramids of Giza, the man-made Palm Islands of Dubai, of course hurricanes, and even the pond they had to build to cool down the nuclear site of Chernobyl can all be captured by satellite, or even seen by the naked eye of people on the International Space Station.
If you can’t afford to travel to these places, all you have to do is become an astronaut.
