Image Caption: A near vertical view of a portion of the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey and Syria, as photographed from the Apollo spacecraft in Earth orbit during the joint U.S.-USSR Apollo Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) mission. This view covers the Levant Coast north of Beirut, showing the cities of Aleppo, Hamah, Homs and Latakia. The Levantine rift bends to the northeast. The altitude of the spacecraft was 225 kilometers (140 statute miles) when this photo was taken.
