Both the true color and the false color images are available in additional resolutions from the MODIS Rapid Response System. The large images provided above are at MODIS’ maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel. Patches of dark red peek through breaks in the clouds in both the west and the north. In this image, the extent of the snowfall under the clouds is a little clearer. High, icy clouds are light orange, while lower-altitude water clouds are white. Friday, February 24, 2023: NASA is assembling the Space Launch System rocket that will launch the Artemis 2 mission to the moon as early as next year, taking. go. This Landsat 9 image shows small landslides along a valley east of Sarseki, Türkiye, on Feb. Plant-covered land is blue-green, and water is black. Feb 24 Scientists are using satellite images to locate landslides following the devastating earthquakes in parts of Türkiye and Syria on February 6, 2023.This combination of light generates a false-color image (one that does not match what a person in space would see) that makes it easier to differentiate clouds from snow. The image on the right shows the same scene in a combination of visible light (the kind the human eye sees) and shortwave infrared light, which is not normally visible to people. The buildings and roads of cities are darker under the snow, and as a result, London is actually easier to see than it would be on a snow-free winter day when the cement-colored city would blend with the surrounding brown landscape. The snow highlights features on the ground. Though both snow and clouds are white, the two have different textures. The image on the left is a photo-like view of the ground shown in “true color,” the colors the human eye would see if viewing Earth from space. Though clouds still lingered over parts of England, much of the storm-affected region was clear on February 4 when Terra MODIS captured these images. The poor weather closed transportation, schools, and businesses throughout southeastern England, reported BBC News. As much as 20 centimeters (8 inches) of snow fell on London. The winter storm that brought the snow in the first days of February blanketed southeast England with the heaviest snow the region had seen in 18 years, said BBC News. The snow stretches from the English Channel north under a bank of clouds near the Scottish border. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this view of snow in England on February 4, 2009.
