The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a true-color image of the sandy scene on June 5.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Strong winds carried a broad river of dust over the border of India and Pakistan in early June 2017. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a true-color image of the sandy scene on June 5. The blowing dust is so thick that it hides the land beneath from view, including much of the green along the valley of the Indus River. Source points for the sand and dust are not obvious in the image, but the dust most likely arose from the sand sea of the Thar Desert. Also known as the Great Indian Desert, the arid region stretches along the Pakistan-India border and is a frequent source for intense sand and dust storms.
