This true-color image centered over southwestern Pakistan shows a massive dust storm (tan pixels) filling the skies over much of the region. The black lines indicate Pakistan’s borders with its neighbors Iran, to the west, and Afghanistan, to the north. The bright white patches are clouds. This image was acquired on June 7, 2003, by the Mod erate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqu a satellite. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS’ maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters. Image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, MOD IS Rapid Response Team, NASA GSFC
