Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image is based largely on observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) - a sensor aboard the Terra satellite - on July 11, 2005. Small gaps in MODIS' coverage between overpasses, as well as Antarctica (which is in polar darkness in July), have been filled in using GOES weather satellites and the latest version of the NASA Blue Marble. Hurricane Dennis can be seen moving inland over the Gulf Coast.
Français : Planisphère montrant la terre telle qu'elle a été observée par le satellite MODIS le 11 juillet 2005. Les petits trous dans la couveture de MODIS ont été comblés avec des données provenant des satellites GOES, et la dernière version de la Blue marble (bille bleue) de la NASA.
Italiano: Una foto satellitare della superficie terrestre, elaborata, in larga parte, dalle immagini fornite dalle fotocamere MODIS che equipaggiano i satelliti per telerilevamento Aqua (EOS PM-1) e Terra (EOS AM-1).
Русский: Изображение, созданное главным образом по данным сканирующего спутникового спектрорадиометра MODIS (2005-07-11.) Небольшие «пропуски» между покрытиями прибора, а также Антарктика, были восстановлены с использованием данных метеоспутников GOES и последней версии «голубого мрамора» NASA.
