    Visible from space… If you zoom in enough with a powerful telescope maybe. Surely this would not be visible to the naked eye from the space boundary. Otherwise everything literally under the sun would be “visible” from space.

      I understand the sentiment, however, I think the scale of mans inhumanity here is all the scale we need to see.

        Exactly, and that’s why the title, “visible from space”, makes such a disrespectful spectacle of the whole thing.

      I wonder if that’s the only way it’s visible. Like, I would expect to hear some reference to reporters or their accounts of events if there were any. There are unfortunately a lot of options right now for war journalists and given the 18 month siege, I could see it being difficult for them to really get there.
