In northwestern China, near the ancient Silk Road outpost of Dunhuang, the sandy landscape sees little moisture but is no stranger to cold. When the cold combines with rare precipitation, the sand dunes of this desert are graced with snow. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASAâs Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite acquired these natural-color images of an area south of Dunhuang. The ground was snow free on November 27, 2012 (top), but a snowstorm moved through the region by December 7, 2012

EARTH -- Jul-Oct 2012 -- This new image of the Earth at night is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012. It took 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earthâs land surface and islands by night. This night-time view of Earth was made possible by the 'day-night band' of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite. VIIRS detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as gas flares, auroras, wildfires, city lights, and reflected moonlight. In this case, auroras, fires, and other stray light have been removed to emphasize the city lights -- Picture by Lightroom Photos/NASA/NOAA

EARTH USA -- 21 Dec 2012 -- In time for the 2012 winter solstice, a storm dropped snow over most of the Rocky Mountains in the United States. On December 20, the National Weather Service reported snow depths exceeding 100 centimeters (39 inches) in some placesâthe result of the recent snowfall plus accumulation from earlier storms. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASAâs Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image on December 19, 2012. Clouds had mostly cleared from the region, though some cloud cover lingered over parts of the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. Showing more distinct contours than the clouds, the snow cover stretched across the Rocky Mountains and the surrounding region, from Idaho to Arizona and from California to Colorado. Snowfall did not stop in Colorado, as the storm continued moving eastward across the Midwest. By December 20, 2012, a combination of heavy snow and strong winds had closed schools, iced roads, and delayed flights, complicating plans for holiday travelers -- Picture by Lightroom Photos/NASA

EARTH Tristan de Cunha -- 06 Feb 2013 -- The island of Tristan da Cunha is located in the southern Atlantic Oceanâmore than 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) from the coastline of Antarctica, approximately 2,800 kilometers (1,700 miles) to the southern tip of Africa, and more than 3,000 kilometers (1, 900 miles) from the east coast of South America. The island forms part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. The shoreline of the 13 kilometer (8 mile) wide island is marked on most sides by steep cliffs, with lower beach areas on the southern and north-northwestern sides. The island is notable for its bird population and includes important breeding grounds for petrels, albatrosses, penguins, and shearwaters -- Picture by Lightroom Photos/NASA

EARTH -- 02 Apr 2013 -- While a high-pressure weather system brought warmer than normal temperatures to Greenland and northern Canada in March 2013, much of North America, Europe, and Asia shivered through weeks of unseasonably cool temperatures. The contrasting temperatures are no coincidence: the same unusual pressure pattern in the upper atmosphere caused both events -- Picture by Lightroom Photos/NASA
