Description

NASA image acquired August 31, 2012

This satellite image shows Tropical Depression Isaac as it moved from the Gulf Coast towards the central United States. It was collected on August 31, 2012, at about 2:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard Suomi-NPP. In addition to clouds illuminated by a nearly-full moon, the lights of cities and towns stand out from the darker landscape.

Suomi NPP is the result of a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of Defense.
