- This MODIS Terra image of the Middle East was acquired on June 5, 2006. The green Nile Delta, in Egypt (to the west) contrasts with the surrounding desert areas. To the east of the Nile, two forks of the Red Sea surround the Sinai Peninsula. The left branch is the Gulf of Suez – the Suez Canal is visible on this image, running north from the Gulf.
- Compass (Wikipedia)
A compass is a device that shows the cardinal directions used for navigation and geographic orientation. It commonly consists of a magnetized needle or other element, such as a compass card or compass rose, which can pivot to align itself with magnetic north. Other methods may be used, including gyroscopes, magnetometers, and GPS receivers.
