- somat 5y agoWow that is nice. Does anyone know what that yellow spot in the middle of the image is? https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/natural/2022/02/12/png/epic_1b_20220212004555.png https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/natural/2022/02/12/png/ep... I have two thoughts. 1. it would be near the tonga volcano 2. it is suspiciously right in the middle of the image. Sun glare due to the orbit matching the sun? edit: added link to image in question as I realized the earth actually spins.
- fguerraz 5y agoDefinitely sun glare, this is a picture taken from a Sun-synchronous orbit.
