Description
NASA image of Earth released in 2000 as part of its "Blue Marble" series of pictures and showing North and South America. The image was compiled using data derived from three different satellite instruments and includes Hurricane Linda to the west of Mexico as recorded on September 9 1997. The moon, pictured in a 1994 satellite image, was then added for artistic effect and has been magnified to about twice its relative size.

Description
NASA image showing the view from space of Hurricane Rita on September 21 2005. Hurricane Rita was the fourth most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone ever seen in the Gulf of Mexico. It made landfall on September 23 between Sabine Pass in Texas and Johnsons Bayou in Louisiana and continued on through parts of south-east Texas. The hurricane caused an estimated $11.3 billion worth of damage on the US Gulf Coast, destroying some coastal communities, and was directly responsible for at least seven deaths. The open eye of the hurricane is clearly visible in the image and through it can be seen the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.The Gulf Coast of the US is seen to the north and the Yucatan Peninsula is visible to the south. The red dots on the image mark the position of a number of fires burning in the south-eastern US - they are thought to be agricultural fires. The image was produced by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite.
