Swirls of Nature
The high technology of satellites reveals the artistic side of natural phenomena: this outstanding shot has been taken by a Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite, capturing the large swirl (thousands of km) formed by the saharan dust coming from Africa and flying over the ocean, then engulfing the Canary Islands. But a closer look will also reveal the green swirls and filaments painted by the algal blooms along the african coasts
