Summary[edit]

Description
English: Taken from the VIIRS instrument on the NOAA-20 satellite, this true color image of the Earth was taken on October 17, 2021. It shows all the seven continents across the world, four of the world's oceans, and the greenery of the trees in the tropics, and plenty of storms systems ranging from mid-latitude systems to tropical systems which were mostly disturbances when image was taken. Also in this image of the Earth you can spot wonderful ice caps of Greenland and the rest of the Arctic and Antarctic, and the deserts of Africa, Australia, southwestern North America, and middle and southwestern Asia. When this image taken it was Autumn in the Northern hemisphere which is the reason why some areas are orange if you spot it closely, while in Southern hemisphere it is Spring which is why in the Southern tip of South America particularly in Argentina, you can see trees starting to blossom into their light green spring color.
