NASA has released a photo of Lake of The Ozarks taken from space.
The photo, taken from 261 miles above the Lake, was taken from the ​​International Space Station on June 23, 2021. The photo appears to include Lake Ozark, Bagnell Dam and the Strip as well as a portion of the Main Channel (mile marker 1 through 16 with some of 8, 9 and 10 obscured).Â
The photo is a beautiful rendering of the Lake from above, showing the Lake’s water in pale grey and the surrounding forest in a dark green-blue. The highest quality photo that NASA has for download is detailed enough to show individual docks and the trails left behind by boats in the water (the boats themselves appear as small white specks).Â
So if you live between the 1 and 16 mile marker or if you were on the Strip on June 23, you might have been photographed from space! Check out the highest quality image on NASA’s website: https://images.nasa.gov/details-iss065e144017
