Tweet
Skies were cloud-free on July 7, 2025, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this true-color image of a sunny summer day across the Western United States. The image captures the variable landscape of the beautiful countryside between the prairies east of the front range of the Rocky Mountains, in the east to the fog-draped coastline along the Pacific Ocean.
