Summary[edit]

Description
English: The dust storm that swept over China, eastern Russia, and the Korean Peninsula in the opening days of May 2017 had reached the Sea of Japan by May 7. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured a striking true-color image of the event at 2:20 UTC (11:20 a.m. Japan Standard Time) that same day. Clouds cover eastern China and Russia in the west and the islands of Hokkaido and northern Honshu in the east. In between the typically blue waters of the Sea of Japan are covered by a broad blanket of tan dust. An especially heavy river of dust streams across the center of the Sea of Japan. In several locations, the cover is so thick that it is impossible to visualize the water that lies underneath.
