Radar imaging taken during STS-5 has revealed a vast ancient river
system in the now Egyptian Desert.  The area, which used to be
a rich grassland, is now a vast dry desert.  The radar pictures,
able to probe 15 feet down into the dry surface, showed the
riverbeds of what used to be a river system as great as the Nile.
