The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image of cloud streets over the Barents Sea and Mezhdusharsky Island on March 7, 2017.
The European Space Agency (ESA)-developed Sentinel-2B satellite was launched on March 7, 2017, doubling the coverage of high-resolution optical imaging in the Sentinel-2 mission for the European Union Copernicus environmental monitoring system.
A novel airborne experiment over the flat agricultural landscape of The Netherlands recently simulated, for the first time, images that could be taken by radar satellites orbiting in tandem.
The shadows across this image taken by the European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite image may play tricks on the human eye, making the valleys”the green areas”look like they stand higher than the light blue mountains. Sometimes rotating the image so the shadows fall in a different direction can fix this optical illusion.
The European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite captured this image of Iran's Musa Bay on the northern end of the Persian Gulf on Jan. 13, 2017.
