Earth seen from space: California and Mexico - Dust storm in Baja California seen from space - Dust Tempete on Baja California. Image obtained by Aqua satellite on 27 November 2011. Dust clouds blowing out of Mexico across an otherwise cloud - free view of Baja California. Late November 2011 offered mostly cloud - free skies and a compelling view of the entire length of Baja California and the Pacific coast of Mexico. In the midst of the clarity, strong northeasterly winds stirred up dust storms on the mainland and the peninsula. The natural - color images required to make this oblique view were acquired on November 27, 2011, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite

Hurricane Ike seen by satellite 09/2008 - Hurricane Ike above Cuba 09/2008 - Hurricane Ike seen over Cuba on 7 September 2008. Image obtained by the American satellite Aqua. Just an hour and a half after this image of Hurricane Ike was captured by the MODIS on NASA's Aqua satellite on September 7, 2008, the National Hurricane Center released its 2:00 p.m. EDT public advisory, warning residents of Cuba and other Caribbean islands, as well as the Florida Keys, that Ike was a dangerous Category 4 hurricane, with winds near 135 mph (215 kilometers per hour), with higher gusts. The image shows Ike approaching eastern Cuba, the eye just west of Great Inagua Island (one of the Turks and Caicos Islands). According to later advisories, Ike made landfall as a Category 3 storm, with winds around 125 miles per hour. Heavy rains were predicted to cause deadly floods and mudslides in mountainous parts of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Cuba

Tethys and Titan, Saturn satellites - Tethys and Titan - The Tethys satellite passes behind the Titan satellite. These images were taken 18 minutes apart (the first image taken is on the right) by the Cassini probe on 26 November 2009 at a distance of 1 million km from Titan and 2.2 million km from Tethys. Saturn's moon Tethys with its prominent Odysseus Crater silently slips behind Saturn's largest moon Titan and then emerges on the other side. Tethys is not actually enshrouded in Titan's atmosphere. Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) is more than twice as far from Cassini than Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) in this sequence. Tethys is 2.2 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Cassini. Titan is about 1 million kilometers (621,000 miles) away. These two color views were captured about 18 minutes apart, with the view on the right taking place first. These images are part of a mutual event sequence in which one moon passes close to or in front of anothe

Earth observed at night by satellite. Mosaic of hundreds of images obtained by four satellites DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) from October 1994 to March 1995 - The image is a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) currently operates four satellites carrying the Operational Linescan System (OLS) in low-altitude polar orbits. Three of these satellites record nighttime data. The DMSP-OLS has a unique capability to detect low levels of visible-near infrared (VNIR) radiance at night. With the OLS 'VIS' band data it is possible to detect clouds illuminated by moonlight, plus lights from cities, towns, industrial sites, gas flares, and ephemeral events such as fires and lightning-illuminated clouds. October 1994 - March 1995 DMSP nighttime data collected when moonlight was low. Using the OLS thermal infrared band, areas containing clouds were removed and the remaining area used in the time series: Earth by night

Dione, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Dione, moon of Saturn, as seen by Cassini - Mosaic of images obtained by the Cassini probe on 11 October 2005 at a distance of about 25,000 km from the satellite. As it departed its encounter with Saturn's moon Dione, Cassini sailed above an unreal landscape blasted by impacts. The rising Sun throws craters into sharp contrast and reveals steep crater walls. At the far right, a medium - sized crater is bisected by a fracture, revealing a cross section of the impact site. The seven clear - filter images in this mosaic were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Oct. 11, 2005, at distances ranging from 21.650 to 25.580 kilometers (13,450 to 15,890 miles) from Dione and at a Sun - Dione - spacecraft, or phase, angle of 154 degrees. Resolution in the original images ranges from 126 to 154 meters (413 to 505 feet) per pixel. The images have been re - sized to have an image scale of about 100 meters (330 feet) per pixel. North

The Tethys satellite is visible under Saturn's rings and the Titan satellite appears at the top of the picture. Titan emerges from behind Saturn, while Tethys streaks into view, in this colorful scene. Saturn's shadow darkens the far arm of the rings near the planet's limb. Titan is 5,150 kilometers (3,200 miles) wide; Tethys is 1,071 kilometers (665 miles) wide. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 3 degrees above the ringplane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide - angle camera on Jan. 30, 2008 at a distance of approximately 1.3 million kilometers (800,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 77 kilomete

Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Titan as seen by Cassini spacecraft: Titan images obtained by the Cassini probe on 21 March 2017. On the left, Titan seen in real colors. On the right, infrared image showing surface details as well as clouds in the northern hemisphere. These views were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 21, 2017. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create the natural-color view at left. The false-color view at right was made by substituting an infrared image (centered at 938 nanometers) for the red color channel. A large, bright and feathery band of summer clouds can be seen arcing across high northern latitudes in the view at right. The views were acquired at a distance of approximately 613,000 miles (986,000 kilometers) from Titan. Image scale is about 4 miles (6 kilometers) per pixel

La Terre vue par satellite - Flying over 700 km above the Earth onboard the Terra satellite, MODIS provides an integrated tool for observing a variety of terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric features of the Earth. The land and coastal ocean portions of these images are based on surface observations collected from June through September 2001 and combined, or composited, every eight days to compensate for clouds that might block the sensor's view of the surface on any single day. Two different types of ocean data were used in these images: shallow water true color data, and global ocean color (or chlorophyll) data. Topographic shading is based on the GTOPO 30 elevation dataset compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center. MODIS observations of polar sea ice were combined with observations of Antarctica made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's AVHRR sensor - - the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer

On his journey from Tibet, he erodes more than a million tons of sediments every year and takes on alluvial or his nickname the Yellow River. It flows into the Yellow Sea, via the Gulf of Bohai, where its delta extends over 36,000 km. Image obtained by the Landsat 5 satellite in 1989. China's Huang He (Yellow River) is the most sediment - filled river on Earth. In the lower reaches, where the current slows, the natural accumulation of sediment in the riverbed has caused the river to change course often in the past.

Many of the fresh - appearing craters (ones with crisp relief) exhibit unusually bright crater floors. The origin of the apparent brightness (or “” albedo”) contrast is not known. It is possible that impacts punched through to a brighter layer underneath, or perhaps it is brighter because of different grain sizes or textures of the crater floor material in comparison to material along the crater walls and surrounding surface.

Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite seen in false colours by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 16,000 km from the satellite. Color differences reveal differences in terrain nature. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. At the right centre is the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. Subtle color differences on Saturn's moon Mimas are apparent in this false - color view of Herschel Crater captured by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft during its closest - ever flyby of that moon. The image shows terrain - dependent color variations, particularly the contrast between the bluish materials in and around Herschel Crater (130 kilometers, or 80 miles, wide) and the greenish cast on older, more heavily cratered terrain elsewhere. The origin of the color differences is not yet understood, but may be caused by subtle differences in the surface composition betwe

The hidden face of the Moon and the Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - Far side of the Moon with Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - This image obtained on July 16, 2015 by the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite shows the passage of the Moon and its face hidden from the Earth. The distance between DSCOVR and Earth is about 1.5 million kilometres. The Moon was approximately 400,000 kilometres from Earth, so it was closer to DSCOVR and therefore appears larger than it is in relation to Earth. This image shows the far side of the moon, illuminated by the sun, as it crosses between the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) camera and telescope, and the Earth - one million miles away. Because the moon has moved in relation to the Earth between the time the first (red) and last (green) exposures were made, a thin green offset appears on the right side of the moon when the three exposures are combined.

Saturn and Mimas seen by the Cassini probe 18/01/2005 - Saturn and Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft Jan. 18 2005 - The Mimas satellite photographed in front of Saturn by the Cassini probe on 18 January 2005 at a distance of 1.4 million km from the planet. The shadow of Saturn's rings is projected on the planet. Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Saturn's northern hemisphere is presently relatively cloud - free, and rays of sunlight take a long path through the atmosphere. This results in sunlight being scattered at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, thus giving the northernmost latitudes their bluish appearance at visible wavelengths. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers, or 247 miles across) give the moon a dimpled appearance. Images taken using infrared (930 nanometers), green (568 nanometers) and ultraviolet (338 nano

China - Yellow River Delta in 1999 - China - Yellow River delta in 1999 - Huang He is the second longest river in China and the most sediments-loaded river in the world. On his journey from Tibet, he erodes more than a million tons of sediments every year and takes on alluvial or his nickname the Yellow River. It flows into the Yellow Sea, via the Gulf of Bohai, where its delta extends over 36,000 km. In 1996, Chinese engineers derive the river causing a withdrawal of the delta and the formation of a new peninsula to the north. Image obtained by one of the Landsat satellites in 1999. China's Huang He (Yellow River) is the most sediment - filled river on Earth. In the lower reaches, where the current slows, the natural accumulation of sediment in the riverbed has caused the river to change course often in the past. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, the lower reaches of the river and the delta have been extensively engineered to control flooding and to protect coastal developmen

Mosaic of 45 images. Several satellites are visible in this image; from right to left: Titan, Tethys, Rhea, Mimas, Enceladus and Dione. While on final approach for its Sept. 2007 close encounter with Saturn's moon Iapetus, Cassini spun around to take in a sweeping view of the Saturn System. Iapetus (1,468 kilometers, or 912 miles across) is the only major moon of Saturn with a significant inclination to its orbit. From the other major satellites, the rings would appear almost edge - on, but from Iapetus, the rings usually appear at a tilt, as seen here. This natural color mosaic consists of 15 red, green and blue spectral filter images acquired in five wide - angle camera footprints that swept across the scene. Moons visible in this image

Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Titan as seen by Cassini spacecraft: Visible and infrared composite image of Titan taken by the Cassini probe on November 13, 2015. View of the hemisphere oriente towards Saturn - This composite image shows an infrared view of Saturn's moon Titan from Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, acquired during the mission's “” T-114”” flyby on Nov. 13, 2015. The spacecraft's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIMS) instrument made these observations, in which blue represents wavelengths centered at 1.3 microns, green represents 2.0 microns, and red represents 5.0 microns. A view at visible wavelengths (centered around 0.5 microns) would show only Titan's hazy atmosphere (as in PIA14909). The near-infrared wavelengths in this image allow Cassini's vision to penetrate the haze and reveal the moon's surface - During this Titan flyby, the spacecraft's close-approach altitude was 6,200 miles (10,000 kilometers), which is considerably higher than
