Did you spot the gorgeous Dragon international space freighter and the International Space Station (ISS) flying over Dubai on July 27?

No? Fret not, we’ve got a picture of the cargo space craft developed by American private space transportation company Space X that shows the freighter over Dubai. The photo – which has the Twitterverse going crazy – also reveals Dubai’s iconic locales including The Palm Jumeirah, World Islands and the general topograpahy of the city.

ISS, a space station (habitable artificial satellite) in low Earth orbit, is a joint project by five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe) and CSA (Canada).

Dragon, a reusable cargo spacecraft developed by SpaceX, was launched into orbit by the company’s Falcon 9 launch vehicle.

The ISS has captured more pictures as it orbited several countries such as the Mediterranean coasts of Tunisia and the Italian island of Sicily. A portion of the Sahara desert in Algeria is also shown in the picture gallery tweeted by the ISS.
