Summary[edit]

Description
English: In mid-October 2017, NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the eastern United States as clouds moved along the coast and across Canada, allowing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard to catch a cloud-framed peak of an autumn day. This true-color image was acquired on October 17. Yellowish-tan tints the agricultural fields of the Midwest as the growing season comes to a close. Splashes of yellow and orange brush the northern forests, particularly in Michigan, New York, and parts of New England, as the green leaves of deciduous trees don their autumn colors. The ridges of the Appalachian Mountains stretch northeast to southwest, from Maine to Georgia, creating one of the most conspicuous features of the eastern United States. Autumn color can also be seen along the higher elevations of these mountains.
Date Taken on 17 October 2017
