Edited MODIS Aqua image of snow in up-state New York. Color/processing variant.
Image source: modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/individual.php?db_date=2019-0...
Original caption: A blanket of white coated the state of New York in mid-January 2019. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of a wintery scene centered on New York on January 13.
In the Adirondacks, near the northeast section of the image, bright white covers almost all of the lakes, indicating sub-freezing temperatures have gripped the area for an extended time. In contrast, the Finger Lakes, which stretch from north to south in a roughly parallel, finger-like pattern, remain unfrozen and appear blue. Parallel lines of cloud, known as cloud streets, stretch over Lake Ontario. This cloud pattern often occurs when cold air blows across warmer waters, creating rising cylinders of air. Clouds form at the top of the cylinder while, as the air cools and subsequently falls, the sky is clear. The "streets" of cloud form parallel to the prevailing wind.
While the wintery scene tells a tale of cold, stormy weather, this area of New York lies just out of the crosshairs of a severe winter storm which raced across the United States from January 10 – 13. According to The Weather Channel, that storm swept about 1,500 miles across the Rockies, Great Plains, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic region in a swath that affected twenty-one states, dropping a high-snow total of 20.3 inches in Columbia Missouri. On January 13, the storm was pounding Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey but stayed south of New York. The band of heavy cloud at the bottom of this image likely represents the northern edge of the storm.

NASA's three WB-57s fly over foggy downtown Houston, Texas during their historic formation flight over the area on Nov. 19, 2015. This photo flight was the first time that all three WB-57s have been aloft simultaneously since the early 1970s, when the U.S. Air Force had an operational squadron of WB-57s. via NASA ift.tt/1ji4Q97
Check this out from NASA -- The Mars Rover named Curiosity recorded high-resolution, 360 degree views of its location on Mars late last year. The panoramic scene was stitched from over 1,000 images from Curiosity's Mast camera or Mastcam. In this version, captured with Mastcam's medium angle lens, the rover's deck and robotic arm are in the foreground, stretched and distorted by the extreme wide perspective. Just beyond the rover are regions of clay rich rock, evidence for an ancient watery environment, with a clear view toward more distant martian ridges and buttes. Gale crater wall runs across the center (toward the north) in the background over 30 kilometers in the distance. The upper reaches of Mt. Sharp are at the far right. Images to construct the panorama were recorded over 4 consecutive sols between local noon and 2pm to provide consistent lighting. Zoom in to the panoramic scene and you can easily spot the shadow casting sundial mounted on rover's deck (right). In July NASA plans to launch a new rover to Mars named Perseverance.

This illustration depicts NASA's Mars 2020 rover on the surface of Mars. The mission, targeted for launch in July/August 2020, takes the next step by not only seeking signs of habitable conditions on Mars in the ancient past, but also searching for signs of past microbial life itself. via NASA ift.tt/2q7Qktb
Expedition 51 Flight Engineer Jack Fischer of NASA is seen inside the International Space Station in his spacesuit during a fit check, in preparation for a spacewalk on Friday, May 12, 2017. This will be the 200th spacewalk at the station for assembly and maintenance, the ninth spacewalk for NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and the first for Fischer. via NASA ift.tt/2qwu8ZK

--This photo has been uploaded as part of the NASA Remix Project--
The goal of this group is to encourage people to re-interpret and remix the great photo libarary NASA has released into the public domain. Please take this photo Remix It, make a Mashup by combing this photos with other images or textures and reinvent it into a new piece of art. Go ahead give it a try, its fun! Then post your artwork to the group pool. To view some of the best images in the group you can view our stream on flickr river. If your up for a challenge we host remix competitions every month on our discussion forum.
