Title:
Southwest Asia Dust Storm
Description:
A large dust storm (tan pixels) originating from the Sistan Basin, in western Afghanistan, continues to fill the skies over a large portion of southwestern Asia. The dust obscures much of Pakistan?s southern coast in this true-color image. This scene was acquired on June 15, 2004, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA?s Terra satellite. The high-resolution image available here is 250 meters per pixel.
