I was just looking at a satellite image of Israel on some else's blog, and I noticed something spectacular. You can actually see the borders of Israel from space.

If you want to try this for yourself, go to http://maps.google.com and type "Israel" in the search bar. Switch to Satellite view, then hover over the Satellite button to see the show labels checkbox and turn off the labels. You can see the borders quite clearly at seven marks up from the bottom of the zoom slider.
