Photo of the week: Can this Lithuanian coat of arms be seen from space?

Karolis Misevičius, one of the organizers, explained the scale: “If you imagine a standard stadium football field whose area is about 1 hectare, the drawing takes up the space of about 20 of those. We believe that it will last for several days or even a week and that it will be seen from space. We will comprehend its true size when an optical satellite passes above it on July 9th.”
