Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Since July 26, athletes and sports fans from around the world have come together in France to compete in, watch, and bask in the glory of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Venues for the games span the country, but most of the 329 events will occur with Paris and its metropolitan area. The Olympics will continue through August 11.

Many of the Olympic venues make use of the historic and iconic landmarks throughout Paris, though some events will take place in new temporary and permanent structures erected for the games. These venues will also be used during the International Paralympic Games, taking place from August 28 through September 8.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of clear skies over France on July 30.

The city of Paris and its surrounding metropolitan area shows up as a large circle of gray pixels near the center of the image. The city, located in north-central France, is surrounded by agricultural countryside, which appears in tones of yellow and green. The English Channel can be seen in the upper left.
